Re: Possible merger between SAS and Finnair?

I think this would be a verry bad idea: within SAS there are already lots of discussions going on between the governements of the countries involved. This would add a country more, so four countries for one airline without a clear 'leader'. (and of course even more unions)

Hi Established,
as always nice pics, but where were you standing to see the United and air Canada? This must be the other side of the B-terminal, right?

Re: Future of Jet Airways in BRU!

It is also rumoured that the Toronto flight will be axed. On the indian aviation forum it seems confirmed that the BOM-EWR flight will be operated with the new A333 (first route) as soon as Jet received them, but I don't know if this plane wiil replace the A332 or the B777 (or both). So, capacity in...

Re: Air India: "Jet Airways may join Star Alliance too"

Actually it doesn't bother me anymore wether 9W move their hub to Germany or not: there's not much left of the hub anymore, and I still think that in every case they will keep the BOM flight, and maybe the DEL flight too.

Re: Ever been to Hong Kong?

Interesting topic to follow, as I'm going to Hong Kong too for 8 days at the end of march. @Andorra-airport: it's a family trip and we promised the kids to go to Disneyland there, so there's no way back anymore. Is it better to order the tickets in advance by internet or can we just go there without...

Re: Which carrier to KTM (Kathmandu)?

The terminals in DEL are all renewed now, they're as good as a "normal" terminal in europe now, easy to use. BUT: since you're in India be sure you have enough time to connect, changing terminals or not. One thing I haven't tought about: checking out and back in for a LCC, another terminal...

Re: which carrier to KTM?

I'd suggest you second option: fly to DEL (lots of flights and competition) and take a LCC there. Spicejet has just started to fly to KTM or will be shortly. I flew them 3 years ago (DEL-Srinagar and Srinagar-Jammu) and they are not bad at all: easy internet booking, check-in no problem, flight OK (...

Re: Where will you fly in 2012?

2012 is planned now: 30/3 LH BRU-FRA-HKG B744 8/4 LH HKG-FRA-BRU B744 7/7 OS BRU-VIE-BKK B772 20/7 OS BKK-VIE-BRU B772 I was hoping to fly the B748i to HKG (as rumoured to be one of the first destinations of this new plane), but unfortunately this is a little bit too early I think. Greetz.

Re: Thai to serve BRU as from next fall!

I still hope for an afternoon arrival: enough connections EU and maybe in the (not so distant) future SN-connections to the US. I doubt the thai-AFI traffic is going trough BRU (if possible) and not via the ME-carriers, but who knows the loyal STAR-travellers?

Re: Skyteam is chasing Jet Airways

If 9W moves their hub to AMS or another airport my guess is that they would keep at least a flight to Mumbai and maybe, maybe one to Delhi. I don't think they would give up all at BRU.
