Re: BRU in 2020

Nice idea! Although one has to be careful not to be too ambitious. Belgium stays Belgium, Brussels stays Brussels. Small. At least, not that big. Nevertheless, i agree that there is a big lack of destinations at BRU, that are very BRU-worthy... In your list: - BOS, LAX, SFO and IAH: yes sir. For sur...

Re: Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium in 2016

With which aircraft, they only have 5 for the moment. I was thinking exactly the same: in the summer, they don't have enough planes and they have to wet-lease aircraft from Brussels Airlines, but they find the way to operate flights from AMS for sister company Neckermann!

Re: Reopening Brussels Airport after the 22/03/2016 terror attacks

2. Can you access the departure hall when you don't have a ticket? I would actually like to see it now that it's fully open again...
