Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Why is there no curtain between business class and economy class on SN european flights? LX, LH, OS flights have always a curtain between these classes. On the other hand: a curtain for one row looks strange ;) On a flight from AGP to BRU two weeks ago, there were only 2 passengers in business, sit...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

Difficult to understand why basic road maintenance works are not being done. (Would the commune of Zaventem or the Flemish Region be in charge of this ?). And difficult to understand that there still is no proper drop off area and no upgrading of the arrivals taxis stand. Minor investments, I think...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Brussels Airlines can finally demonstrate its strength to Africa Cheap long-haul flights, assistance to subsidiaries or regional transport: Lufthansa has had many half-hearted ideas for SN. Today, there is a plan with substance: SN must develop Africa for the group. The continent is seen as the las...

I guess it is due to less demand on that route.

Re: Brussels Airport compared to other European airports

You can’t compare.. 2 very different markets. Location as well. As mentioned above, BRU is in the Center of europe with a lot of competition 60- 90 minutes train trip away actually. In many cities that’s the time to get to the main airport from city Center. Besides Warsaw is in the periphery of the ...

Re: 2023 Antwerp Airport (ANR/EBAW) latest news

For those living in Antwerp, or north or east of the city CRL is not really an option.. ANR is super convenient. Not everybody lives in Antwerp. You'd be surprised how many people live in the 'parking lot'. Flights from ANR are targeting people living in the area. Just like at any other airport. Bu...

Re: 2023 Antwerp Airport (ANR/EBAW) latest news

How do prices on this route compare between Tuifly and Ryanair ? Why compare with Ryanair from an airport 2 hours away? What do you mean, 2 hours away ? From where I live, it takes me 14 minutes longer to get to CRL than it takes me to get to ANR. That's a difference of 14 minutes, not 2 hours. For...

Seriously... how old are you? Nobody is bashing SN here, and I didn't read frustration anywhere. Crew 1990- you are clearly looking at it from an emotional point of view, a point of view which is seldomly used by managers, this probably explains why you don’t understand the decision making process....

I tend to agree as well. Beside the fact the outside looks kind of sovietic, the inside and the functionnality of the airport are for me ok. The only thing wich really need a change are more custom officer to avoid long queues. And on a functionnal aspect, all star alliance airlines should be in th...

It seems that only payment by card is accepted. That's illegal.

It is not decent to charge for the toilets. But if they Really insist to do that, they must also install a machine that Accepts cash.

In the past, they had commercials on the street billboards all over Brussels (I don't know in Flanders).
