Just made the online check-in.

Couldn't change the seats but I was fine with those who were already assigned.

Re: Air Belgium in 2018

From what I heard regarding seat selection, they are "unable" to assign seats ahead of time. I guess the seats will be randomly given during check-in. They'll just make sure to assign seats for passengers under the same reservation next to each other. I just wonder if the check-in agents ...

Re: Air Belgium in 2018

I wonder if the delay is done on purpose to maintain attention on their owned medias or because they really struggle to operate an extra rehearsal flight. I hardly believe they couldn’t anticipate the success of the first flight given the bargain price in economy. Many people are now waiting for get...

They first have to put some rice on CRL's runway. Afterwards, the planes will arrive. :mrgreen:

In the first instance will mostly be a charter airline.
