Searchers found some aircraft parts from the AF447 airbus that crashed on june 1, 2009 on its way from Rio to Paris. Searchers have renewed hope to find the black boxes.

I personally feel airlines should be required to advertise prices for standard, easy to compare products, including the same "options" for every airline. This would provide much better consumer protection, avoid nasty surprises at the airport etc. Airlines who want to give passengers a bet...

And LAP (Lineas Aereas de Paraguay) to Asuncion (I don't remember where they stopped en route between BRU and ASU ; does anyone remember ?) When I travelled to Chile with them (1988) ; they were still flying 707s, they refuelled at Dakar between Brussels and Ascunsion. On the way back they refuelle...

Maybe if they can promote their South-American network from IAH? But they already serve many S-A markets from EWR and currently CO only runs 3 destinations in Europe from IAH: CDG, LHR and AMS. The next route will be FRA. I don't think we will soon see a CO IAH-BRU rotation. South American market v...

the guy in the window seat was "big" in the hips and shoulders. I was pushed to the side and squeezed under the arm rest. If check was a bit more considerate, they could have put him in an aisle seat. At least that way big people can move their bulk somewhat out of the way for most of the...

Some of my experiences are from long ago ; older to more recent ; economy except for upgrades Lineas Aereas Paraguyas 3/10 (old 707, out of business a long time ago) Ladeco 6/10 (now part of LAN) Alitalia 7/10 (long time ago) Lufthansa 4/10 (flight canceled - defective airplane) Air India 5/10 Jetai...

As far as I know you can book the ticket separately, I believe the trains between Brussels-South and CDG are no longer run by Thalys, but by the SNCF, so you have to look on their website (quite complicated). I'm quite certain it's usually possible to find a ticket at a reduced rate, more so if you ...

I didn't find a another post on this story in The Australian. Does anybody have more information on the impact of this transaction - if any?

Expect that whatever happens, some flights will be handled on remote stands, untill forecasted traffic warrants a new pier (be it for Jet Airways only, or for all international traffic). They did it in the Sabena years too, while they were building the new piers (A & B). Wouldn't it be simpler ...

Well actually those railway tracks are the goods railway tracks, they have no connection with the Antwerp central station, they go directly towards the harbour. I remember a few years back, when I still lived in Antwerp, my train from Brussels to Antwerp quite regularly rode on those tracks, so def...

Blijkbaar ben ik de enige die in deze discussie Brussel verdedigt (te weinig Brusselse Vlamingen op dit forum?) Als ik de situatie rond Brussel bekijk op Google Maps, concludeer ik toch dat de situatie in Brussel duidelijk problematischer is dan in b.v. CDG of Keulen. Ik zie wel degelijk een zone me...

ontsla al de mensen die op de luchthaven werken die uit het Brusselse komen en laat ze dan wat betogen voor de deuren van die Bru Air Libre mensen. Prachtoplossing. Misschien kunnen we ineens ook alle mensen ontslaan die naar Brussel pendelen, en op de invalswegen voor geluidsoverlast zorgen, kwest...

BIMAN passengers were not even allowed to leave the plane during a stop in BRU. Definitely no longer true e.g. for the Etihad flights AUH-BRU-YYZ, everybody had to leave the plane both times I took this flight. Given Jet Airways want to use Brussels as a hub, most of their passengers will have to c...

There is the Air France/TGV cooperation on the TGV-line Bruxelles-Midi (ZYR) and Paris Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2. I even think you can check-in in Bruxelles-Midi to your final destination, if you fly with Air France or one of the other Skyteam members of course. But I'm not 100% sure of thist la...

They didn't erase the EY502 flight yet on the Etihad website. The last EY501 would leave Abu-Dhabi on Wed May 30th. I got a fare quoted for the EY502 flight on june 9th, this flight appears until the timetable for august. Looks like they still need to finalise the transition between the new direct f...

You need a 747 to go 10-abreast, and not a single 777 which is significantly wider than the A350 has a 10abreast configuration, so i guess 3-3-3 is the maximum for both 787 and A350 For an example of 10-abreast on 777 (Emirates), see : http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Emirates_Airlines/Emirates_Air...

Be carefull in the way at the beginnig they had 60 passengers , now they get full pax , this will change their mind , wait and see. A few weeks ago I've tried to take look at their fares for early next year, but the online reservation systems of most ticket shops in Belgium don't seem to allow you ...

Air Asia fly Bangkok to Phnom Penh, from there you could take a bus by decent road to Siem Reap. I.r.c. Jetstar resp. Air Asia fly from SIN and KUL to Siem Reap. I went from Bangkok to Siem Reap in februari ; I've travelled overland as I couldn't find a travel agent in Belgium who could get me an ai...

A very embarresing case for the dutch authorities. Why should the dutch authorities be embarrassed ? What exactly were they supposed to do differently when a US plane, with a US pilot and staff, guarded by armed US airmarchals turns back to Schiphol because of a supposed terror alert on board. The ...
