Re: Boarding with Ryanair
And if you haven't the luck of Stij, what I would suggest is boarding through the rear door (when possible), while the other passengers are struggling to enter via the front door. Always got my window seat and plenty of space in the bins for my carry-on

Sikorksy S-38 replica in Brussels on 03/09/2010
Dear all, According to some article in several French-speaking newspapers (and probably Flemish ones too ;)), I read that the only flying replica of the amphibious plane Sikorsky S-38 will make a charity flight from Minnesota to Berlin, starting 20/08/2010. Brussels is on its itinerary and is schedu...

Re: 100% match reclaim and luggage tag
Personally, I am for the principle of finding a way to check that the pieces of luggage leave the airport with the same person that brought them to the check-in counter at the airport of origin. That's the theory. Now, in practice, whatever solution is taken (if it is decided to solve the issue), my...

Re: CDG-LHR-CDG A380 July 2010 (warning, many pics)
Funny you're talking about toilets: the F/A on the CDG-LHR told us they were quite nice compared with other aircrafts... Well, when I was in the Thalys back to Brussels I suddenly realised: "S***! I forgot to see them!" I have now a most important reason to book another flight on AF A380! ...

Re: CDG-LHR-CDG A380 July 2010 (warning, many pics)
Hi Regi! I understand your feelings! I must admit that, after having seen 5 A380 in one week-end, the "novelty" feeling was a bit weaker... but after having flown the big bus, I'll always have good memories that will appear when I see one! The same when I see a eg C130 (man, what a flight!...

Re: Etihad seat selection
I would too follow Thomas_C advice and call them. I flew with them BRU-AUH-BKK return last Autumn and they were great. I joined a friend who had booked earlier and told me that all windows seats were taken. I called Connections (I had booked through them) and they could arrange the things in such a ...

Re: CDG-LHR-CDG July 2010 A380 (warning, many pics)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Load factor was 100% or very close to it. Many people doing the return on the same day.
Yes, I went inside both Concorde at Le Bourget. I was told it was small inside... but still got surprised by how small it was!
If you're interested, I can put some pics.

Re: EDI - BRU with Bmi
Hi Depretair, Nice to see other people are pleased with BMI! I also flew BMI's ERJ145 (LHR-BRU, G-RJXF last december), and although the feeling of space is naturally not the same as other jets, I didn't find it cramped either and was also very pleased by the quality of the flight. It was my third fl...

Re: Where will you fly in 2010 ?
Most probably, although I'm hesitating to fly this leg with Blue Islands (for the sake of logging a new airline as well, as I'll fly with Aurigny from Manchester to Guernesey)... but I'm not sure if their BN are always flying this sector (I read a report where this leg was sometime operated by the J...

And the Blimp/Zeppelin/Big Balloon (whatever you call it ) with Goodyear titles was above the "Ring" of Brussels 20 minutes ago (near the Exit to Wemmel), standing gently in the air. For once I wished there were the usual traffic jams to have a longer look at it, but it's holiday time...

Re: BRU 11/06/2010
Indeed yesterday 10/06 and today 11/06 there is a NATO meeting (checked on its webpage) between the different Defense Ministers. That probably explain why I also saw yesterday evening (20:00 and 21:45) a UH-60 Blackhawk overflying my apartment in Auderghem (south of Brussels), as well as this mornin...
