Re: Reopening Brussels Airport after the 22/03/2016 terror attacks

The only difference between economy and economy+ is legroom which is 75 cm vs. 85 cm in a 3-3-3 config. On a 10-hour flight that can make a big difference imo. Seatmap Or do you mean Co...

Re: TUI fly Belgium in 2017

On the other hand a student would otherwise pay 4 times as much without getting a wage... But isn't there an oversupply in Belgium of (young) unemployed pilots wanting to fly at almost any cost? Even if they would bind themselves to an airline for a few years with a lower wage than what the market n...

According to this article (Dutch) the new 737 MAX of TUI fly will have no inflight screens anymore as opposed to their current fleet. :shock: As an aviation enthusiast I really liked to fly them because they had inflight screens on (almost) all their flights, not so for movies, but most of all for t...

I don't understand
