Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

I think that they must work on their poor punctuality before addressing other issues.

Re: Air Belgium in 2019

Problem with institutions and diplomats, they re all flying low cost or eco these days, even on long haul.. BRU does not generate premium pax like Zurich, Geneva, or FRA and Munich ..

Re: Air Belgium in 2019

With SN gone in the coming year(s), they should present themselves as the new flag carrier, full-service quality airline to Brussels, home of numerous international institutions and the second biggest diplomat city in the world. There must be a market for this Clearly there is no market for it, SN ...

Re: National strike in Belgium on 13 February 2019

Interestingly, KLM maintains all its flights: what an opportunity! Most SN destinations can be reached from AMS. Whereas LH, LX and OS cancelled all their flights together with SN when FRA, MUC VIE, ZRH could be nice alternatives. Lack of vision of the LH Group! Already last week the full LH Group ...

Re: Lufthansa Is Trying To Sue Passengers For Skiplagging

The real shame is that skiplagging cant be used for round trip. A no show on one flight shouldnt cancel the return flight. If its paid its paid. If you decide to do one leg on a donkey's back its your choice. It is actually on the return.. for an example.. on SN one way GVA - BRU - LHR can be much ...

Precisely why I stopped flying AF. The wait at the train station after a long flight is horrible. Did it twice, never again.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018

It is much cheaper than bottled water. I meant cheap like style I find a design glass bottle with fruits and petals floating in it much more stylish and personal than a plastic bottle. But OK, we're not going to agree on this I feel And I don't really think people will change lounges because of the...

That is very cheap, I find. Many people do not drink tap water at home or at a restaurant..why should they at a premium lounge? Actually this is very standard in Estonia You *always* get water with berries, fruits, even flowers-petals I don't find this cheap at all (and way better than all the plas...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018

Seems SN is saving on potable water at its flagship lounge in brussels! Bottled water no where to be found, replaced by flavoured tap water in large glass jars! First the small bottled waters were replaced by large ones, clearly to cut costs. Now bottled water is gone alltogether! That is very cheap...

Re: 2018 Antwerp Airport (ANR/EBAW) latest news

The paid parking certainly has kept me away! Then again, I am not an airline passenger anyway so perhaps I am not a factor of loss... The reduction of service at BelAir is bad too, but quite understandable. They are not a charity, after all. I'm not too familiar with the surroundings, but isn't the...
