Re: Air Canada 767-300

I've flown them several times the last few years (all economy flights) and to me they are one of the better North American Airlines. I consider them to be at least on par with Delta and certainly better than AA or UA. So not great but not bad at all. The 767's are old, (and it seems like they've bee...

Re: Strikes affecting Belgian airports in 2016

I'm not out to pillory someone at all, just pointing out who is responsible for these sickening actions. She is the chairwoman, so it's her own choice to be a public figure and to be seen as main figure of the GBATC. Therefore it's fair game to point out who she is. Pointing out is one thing, but t...

Re: Strikes affecting Belgian airports in 2016

If you wonder who is responsible for such an action, meet Maryse Meulemans. http://i.imgur.com/aoZqQ7y.png https://www.facebook.com/maryse.meulemans What's your point? Is this the middle-ages where we're going to pillory someone ? I agree starting a strike in these circumstances is hideous, but sin...

Re: What is happening with Brussels Airlines?

Recently, FCO airport lost one of its terminals in a fire. Yet the airport was operating at near full capacity within 3 days as a crazy amount of AZ staff volunteered to work on days off and long hours. This is in Italy, where organisation is a mess. Also recently, NBO lost its main terminal in a f...

Wasn't that airline named 'General Air' ?

Re: Brussels Airlines introduces one-way fares at 39 euro

And now it is waiting for the first ultra smart booking platform, which, when for example requesting a return flight from Brussels to Rome, will give you the best possible rate by mixing airlines, as for example outbound on SN, return on FR... I recently did send a message to the BRUXX website admi...

Re: Brussels Airlines a Flemish company?

My gosh does it really matter? It's just again a politician wanting to cause a stir . As far as I'm concerned the Belgian flag still prides on the planes and everyone speaks 3 or more languages which of course include French AND Dutch ;) I'm not agree with this statement !!! At all ...I think it's ...
