Re: Miles & more moving to revenue based system

I flew TXL-BRU on SN on an A fare Dec 4th and credited to LH instead of SN loop. No miles yet either. :-( Guessing you should not expect miles for these Check&Go fares.

Re: BRU Winter 2017-18: news, new routes, airlines

I would consider Qeshm to Tehran as longhaul, or are those flights discontinued already ? Yes, Qeshm still flies to Tehran. Does anyone know where the Qeshm flights can be booked ? even on their own website, Brussels is not listed as an origin/destination.. I looked at a few OTA's, but no flights s...

Re: KL BRU-AMS-BLL rebooked on SN BRU-BLL

The concept of "Original Routing Credit" is not something unusual. I actually don't really care about the miles since this was a cheap ticket originally and I'm not a frequent KLM traveller but I would like to see if KLM does ORC or not. The rebooked ticket has the following annotation: &q...

KL BRU-AMS-BLL rebooked on SN BRU-BLL

Hi, on Jun 27 I was supposed to fly BRU-AMS-BLL (KL1715/KL1347) with a 45 minute connection in AMS. On my way to the airport I got a text from KLM saying my BRU-AMS flight would be delayed and that I should contact KLM airport staff if this would pose a problem. Assuming it would not be easy to make...

Re: Is there any plan to expand the rail link at BRU airport

@Gumblebee, how does the fyra (when it runs) go directly to BRU then..? The Fyra still uses the "old" route over L25. Moving it over to L25N (the new link) would require a lot of shuffling of trains within the Brussels North-South junction (it would have to move from the western to the ea...

Re: Is there any plan to expand the rail link at BRU airport

But the completion of the Diabolo is quite recent. Let's give B-rail some time to adapt, but not too long. The diabolo is not complete yet : the new railway line along the E19 is still missing the section from Brussels to the airport (not sure how far construction has advanced). The fourth leg of t...

So will it be the "First" Suites like or another product? I currently have a reservation on hold on BRU-BKK-SYD in November in F and would really like the suites! I would be really disappointed if it turns out there would be no F on this plane, and get downgraded to J.
