... and the French basically used pure blackmail on the Dexia-file in case we don't go for Rafale ... The compensation they offer is nothing else than a catalogue of large existing investment the French have here already (energy, etc ...). Read Geert Noels opinion about it some weeks ago in De Tijd ...

What was the dividend BAC paid out? EUR 100 mio? Scandalous ... but as always in Belgium, responsibility will remain to be "determined". As always in situations like this, under-investment in non-revenue generating activities (like the grid, or security), will come to haunt you one day. Th...

I use Schiphol nearly every month, and over the last 2 years have witnessed the explosion in passengers. The attraction of using Schiphol for non-Schengen flights (like the ones I take to Moscow, Almaty, Kiev with the SkyTeam Group) was always the security check at the gate. Since that is over combi...

29" in a LH A 320? Not true at all .. Felw the Ryanair 737-800 a zillions of times and the LH 320 even more and hell I take an LH seat over anything else .. I am 1m90.. I can hold out a Ryanair seat for an hour and a half max before having serious backpain .. And don't put me in a window seat o...

.. Cancelled all flights for 2017 ... December trip LUX-IST-GYD resulted in very infected eardrums with repitive otitis ... One advise: never take a plane when you have a heavy cold/flu .... the air pressure will make you cry like a baby ... Until full doctor's green light, I have to stay away from ...

I fly TK regularly to Central Aia (Tbilis, Baku, Almaty, Tashkent). Now that they have a direct to LUX I do have a wide range of connections in the region I do business. I have flown nearly all their planes in Y and C. Onbaord service is a hit or miss. Their catering is very repititive and crew atti...

Here at our shop all business travel from and to BRU is stopped as well, and I can ensure we are heavy users. I fully understand BRU supporters, but let's be honest, even prior to 22/3 BRU was not a popular airport amongst the travel community and the travel experience "end to end" from BR...

The list of "minor incidents", often pilot related, is starting to get long at Luxair ... Issues with safety culture still not 100% solved ...

Just one word, beautiful and very original, proud example of Belgian creativity ...

Overall prices to Moscow have dropped significantly over the last years, with the offer having multiplied. I fly Moscow nearly every month (mainly Lux-Fra-DME on LH). It is often easy to find a EUR 350 return, without Saturday rule. Far cheaper than other main European business destinations. For tha...

Being a bit of a " Russian sanctions expert" myself in my sector, good luck with this .. Nothing against the plane, but I hope they have a good view on the current situation and its context ...

My company would happily pay to fly me to Brussels. I need to go from Lux every month twice to Brussels for one or two meetings. Train: that means leaving at 0600 am to see every village in the Ardennes and arrive 3 hours later in Brussels. Same thing on the way back. Car: means leaving at 0500 AM a...

Still no Lux

What are the access requirements for those on a non C-class ticket? is M&M Frequent Traveller enough, or do you need to be Senator/Gold? The Star Alliance rules differ from airport to Airport .. In Lux, Zurich, Munich, Frankfurt, Frequent Traveller is godo to enter lounges, but not in Vienna .. ...

Like on LX and LH, in C-on European flights, we don't ask for pre-selected meals (to troublesome) , not a single business traveller will ask this. We are already happy with the choice between 2 options on the plane itself, which was now not even the case at SN

.... they could heat up pizzas or hot paninis for the buy-on-board but not the C-class meal .. I would have happily swapped my plate of cold basmati for a pizza

... Also, although maybe details and in the wider shape of things not that important in days of Ebola, ISIS and plunging stock markets but it makes the difference between good and really good carriers: * I am FB Gold, and even when flying economy, the KLM crew will spot me and 9 times out of 10 addr...

Going to that region a lot, it is for Iranian and Saudi/UAE and other GCC states the closest regions where everything that is forbidden in their country (gambling, adult entertainment, alcohol) is widely available at low prices. Especially Armenia is pretty sad in that context .. Road from airport t...

Hi all, after accumulating well over 400K M&M airmiles and purchasing property at the Costa del Sol, no more excuses not to try our national airline, Brussels Airlines for the first time. Since living in Luxembourg since 2001, I hardly use Zaventem any more, and only used SN Brussels Airlines in...
