Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

Compensation for the passengers should be twice the difference between a ticket with luggage and a ticket without.

As for flying to and from the UK, its not that far and can easily put in a schedule.
Absolutely true on both counts.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2019

Why are the prices to the UK destinations that high from Brussels? Except for MAN, because Ryanair flies from CRL. There are many ex pats here in Belgium and many tourist cities such as Brughes and Ghent have loads of British tourists. Why doesn't JET2.com, Easyjet or others offer a low cost link t...

Re: 2019 Antwerp Airport (ANR/EBAW) latest news

I'm a bit miffed that the flight from Antwerp to Southend is ceasing, just when Loganair is starting its flights from Southend to Carlisle (handy to get to the Southwest of Scotland).

Re: 2019 Antwerp Airport (ANR/EBAW) latest news

Weird, maybe they are late to load the flights in their booking system? (hoping) Don´t think so. BE is still underway in its restructuring and that route is not the last one to go for sure. They likely have set a comparably high threshold (for keeping a route) where ANR-LGW just doesn´t perform as ...

I remember the former leader of WILOO.

Of course it was cheap : it was right next to OST airport, the same airport he has ...

Re: Alitalia near bankruptcy. Can it be saved?

2. The Italians won't leave the EU. All EU member states have seen what damage the brexit has caused. Not one single EU country will exit. That must be some crystal ball you've got. If Italy or any other country doesn't leave the EU, it's not because of so-called 'damage'. It's because, unlike the ...
