Time for me to remember checking this when booking from DUS... (I live roughly between BRU & DUS)

Or even in some Middle-Eastern countries: go through X-ray when arriving... probably to detect weapons from European terrorists

And no more word about the USA pre-immigration in BRU airport in the same shot

Interesting to see such late departures to USA.

A little useless for me (using East coast to connect to West coast) but could be for other passengers.

A long interview of Count Davignon in the Belgian edition of Paris Match, worth reading every word: ... - Whatever is being said, Eurowings evolves towards a hybrid model like the SN model, and not the opposite. My opinion on this 'Count' is ... but let's hope that for once he is right and that the...

I must admit that creating a real TWR and having custom/immigration to Schengen is a FEAT !

Looking forward for the NOTAM or AIP changes, keep us aware!

Not an answer to your question, but why would one backtrack 4 hours to fly to the USA via Istanbul ? Much much cheaper for a flight booked on short-term... And a connection/stop in USA (ORD, IAD, JFK, EWR) is always 'risky' due to immigration queue... So, getting a non-stop flight from 'Europe/Turk...

(possibly not the right forum to ask -- sorry) Did anyone recently experiment a short 1-hour connection at IST coming from BRU on Turkish then going to USA also on Turkish? I did it twice years ago without any issue but now I keep hearing stories about being forced to clear immigration & custom ...

I heard about a landing fee of 450 EUR... Is it confirmed ?

Hangar space is quite expensive and not easy to find ?

Have the people at LH said that there is no place for a belgian based premium carrier, and why can they operate premium carriers in ZRH and VIE, and not possible in the capital of the EU, strange, no ? Beside the language shared by LH, OS and LX (and possibly mentality and having more than 1 SN dom...

I hope that you are right and that I am wrong...

What happens when the new CEO is the ex German marketing leader? You post on Facebook some b*s* such as "We will remain Belgium's home airline and we'll continue to grow. Together with Eurowings, we'll shape the European airline industry." I am Star Alliance Gold for 15 years, and the wors...

With my flight log in DGTA, I hope that if the front desk is closed this is only to put more ressource on the back-end => delivering my flight log and PPL licence earlier

Indeed, Swiss & ZRH are easy to go through. Also a catering in the plane which is not too bad. Just beware that the flight is not operated by Edelweiss (good meals but quite crowded and no web check-in quite often). Also, the Swiss Star Alliance Lounge is going under 'upgrade' so we are rerouted...

Belated comment... and kind of out of topic...

But as a passenger, the only SN flights where the captain/co-pi addresses (not always !) the passengers only in English

The best part of Polaris is the Polaris lounge in Chicago though

Else, it is an upgrade food / comfort when compared to previous C-class of UA.

This might be a stupid question, but does the laptop ban also count for US carriers ? No stupid questions, only naive answers :-) The article did not mention anything about the carrier but I understood it as all carriers (and then good luck to do it from a US airport where all gates are after secur...

Any more details?
