@ Stij:

Gisteravond (zondag) is er korte tijd (van ongeveer 22.00-0.30) een aantal vluchten geland op de 07R. Ik woon zelf namelijk onder de aanvliegroute en heb ze zien en horen overvliegen.

Wie heeft ook het volgende bericht in De Standaard gelezen: "Het nieuwe baangebruik op de luchthaven van Zaventem, waarbij de windrichting bepalend is, kan dit weekend nog niet worden toegepast. De windnormen zijn door een sterke oostenwind overschreden. Het nieuwe schema is ingevoerd door staa...

I have flown several times with UIA and they are quite fine. Crew is ok, planes are fine too, B-737, and inflight is pretty decent with hot meal and free drinks. Take the direct flight, easier and quicker, especially if the price is the same.

INDEED !!!

Not very good for the customer though. Brussels Airlines' very light prices in b light are only available on routes with competition from the Sky Europe and Easyjets of this world.

I also already had the Cappucino on a flight from Krakow to Brussels. Very good quality. 4 € may not seem cheap, but it beats any comparison with average coffee on many other airlines.

BTW the instant coffee on bru air is quite fine.

Are you sure they were new LEATHER covers ? I flew back in an Avrojet with new seat covers. I asked myself if they were leather or synthetic material (lloked more like something synthetic, not leather, to me). Maybe they make them scent like leather :wink: but is it like you write synthetic material.

Today I flew back from THF to Brussels and was positively suprised by the smell of fresh new leather. While the rest of the inside of the plane shows its age the seats were new (or at least the seat covers were changed with new leather covers). It was very nice to sit in these new seats. Sorry, forg...

Off topic: first of all, will there be a future government? If so, I think the government could agree with a limit of 18.000 flights if the night flight regime is extended to 06.30 or 07.00. A nice Belgian compromise defending interests between the airport company and the people living around the ai...

The argument that would Sabena have been kept alive, there would be less social benefits to pay to the unemployed... therefore subsidising could be justified. First of all, many found another job I agree, many have found another job, but this means that many positions that were available were taken...

yes, beware of microphones in b.air's lounge as one has to beware of b.air's eyes on this forum :( Oops probably they can identify me by checking their flight reservations. :wink: I am (not yet) paranoid. Constructive discussion can lead to improvement. Anyway, if anyone might be in the lounge one ...

I am departing Brussels twice next week: Wednesday 22 August from the A terminal (to Berlin) - will be there in the early evening around 18h00 (in b light, for work, have to save some budget) Thursday 24 August from the B terminal (to Krakow) - will be there in the morning around 08h00 (in b flex, p...

If the gov had kept Sabena alive they would have saved 540 000 000€ in taxes every year if we suppose that there was no profit nor loss... You seems to foregt the european rules !!! OFF TOPIC Forget the European competition rules (even though they usually are quite sensible :) , but in today's econ...

Here is another regular traveller. I already commented in other threads about b light b flex, it's pros and cons. I kind of like it even though flights on b light is only true value for money on routes with competition from f.e. Easyjet or SkyEurope. On other routes it is often quite pricey for a no...

Thanks for the nice report. I will go to Krakow in two weeks for the weekend. Hope I have time to visit it. Looks quite interesting!

How about row 4 in the RJ 100 and row 3 in the RJ 85 ?

Otherwise it'll be seats as from row 17..

Chris

Those seats should be fine!

sn26567, it's nice to read your report. b.flex is indeed an excellent product for the short routes up to 3 hrs that Bru Airlines flies in Europe. The cabin has a calm atmosphere as usually only experienced travellers who are away for their work sit in this section of the plane. I can recommend to Pr...

At the end of the day, Sunday night was very quiet at WAW. There was no queue and I didn't need anybody to help me through. It's even better if you know someone very senior in government, then you don't have to check in yourself. It's done for you in "protocol" while they serve you a cup ...

Thanks for your reply but the question is not whether I have to pay more or not ;-) I just want to choose the best rows for the best views outside the Avro. As the Avro is a tricky airplane due to the high wings I wanted to have some feedback of frequent travelers on the Avro or simply on crews fly...

Even though Romania came a long way forward into the modern world, 10 years ago when I visited Romania for the first time I could not imagine them being an EU member before 2010, but the government of late has ensured EU membership, however the mentality of many people including the flight attendant...

2) there seems to be priority boarding but that never worked out fine the times that I boarded in b-flex. Usually everyone boards at the same time. They should have two separate Q-s. One for b-flex and one for light. There really is a separate Q at the gate... Well there is some murmur of b flex bo...
