Re: Brussels Airlines introduces free meals/drinks in Blight

When I used the flight to RAK with Club Med this summer, the Club Med pax were seated in b.flex in order to get a meal. Maybe that will change in the future, with the availability of a snack in b.light.

Re: BRU-CDG at risk?

KLM currently also offers both air and train (Thalys and Benelux) connections from AMS to BRU... but of course, KLM is slightly larger ;)

Re: BRU-CDG at risk?

Actually, I noticed this already some time ago in the "algemene voorwaarden" of NMBS Europe. It stated: Thalys: Nieuwe tarieven: "Thalys Air SN" en "Thalys Air 9W (Jet Airways)" voor reizen vanaf 30/10/2011 (verkoop vanaf 01/08/2011 uitsluitend door de reisbureaus). (ht...

Re: Stewardessen Brussels Airlines kennen weinig glamour

Interesting link! What I don't understand is the all the commotion about the one weekly flight to HRG and TCP for Club Med. Probably the duty time is amongst the largest in the SN network, but why can these flights 'easily' be done with JAF and FQ and not with SN? Management of SN has even already g...

Re: No more deicing fluid at Brussels Airport

Maybe they want to do the boarding also inside the hangar ;) It is at least a creative solution.

Re: No more deicing fluid at Brussels Airport

On the website of thomas cook I can read the following: De vliegtuigen van Thomas Cook Airlines die morgen vanuit Brussel moeten vertrekken, staan ’s nachts in een hangar waardoor er geen de-icing nodig is. Deze vluchten zullen dus zonder veel problemen kunnen vertrekken. Translation: The airplanes ...

Re: Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium BRU-HRG-BRU in Premium Clas

Those are always loaded for distribution on the return flight as you received your newspaper on the outbound flight from Brussels. The difference is that on the outbound flight the newspaper is not distributed by FQ, but by the touroperator. Pegase and Thomas Cook pax get a newspaper, Club Med and ...

Re: SN to take over TNT pax flights at BRU

Are we sure that SN is only going to take over TNT capacity?
I think also the flights previously operated by Thomas Cook.

On the Club Med website I already get following SN flight:
BRU-TCP-HRG-BRU on Saturday 30/04 and 07/05
During the winter season these flights are still operated by FQ.

Re: SN to take over TNT pax flights at BRU

You're taking me out of context, because later in the sentence I wrote:
"to operate the week-end schedule".
Sorry, but even 5 aircraft in the weekend, meaning about 10 medium haul charter flights is too big for only Club Med Belgium. (except for July/August maybe)

Re: SN to take over TNT pax flights at BRU

If SN dedicates 5 of these aircraft to Club Med The market of Club Med is not thát big ;) Imo, the dedicated destinations would be: Agadir, Marrakech, Enfidha, Djerba, Taba or Ovda, Hurghada, maybe Luxor, Antalya and Bodrum. On most destinations one weekly flight would suffice and most of these des...
