Re: Why not Rio for Brussels Airlines as next destination

I agree with you LJ. He better organize full eco 747's to Brazil, with a ticket price lower then 500, otherwise the amibition of 5 widebodies will not materialize.

Re: Leuk forum

Verwacht u dat een van de weinige passagiers die (vaak) die route neemt, een luchtzak lid is ? In dat geval neem ik aan dat u ook EuroMillions speelt met 1 lot (iets met kansbere...

Re: Ryanair passenger ended up in wrong country.

May I add 2 different situations as well. 1) Passengers who booked a ticket to the wrong city, but not knowing that. You all know the Sydney in Canada story, but there are many other examples. 2) And transit pax who get off too early, thinking that they are already at there destination. Example: CX ...
