As a frequent traveller on LOT, I can only recommend them. The Embraer 170/175/190s are very fast and comfortable. BRU-WAW is usually operated by 735s though, and only the 9.50am departure from BRU is systematically on an Embraer. I am not sure about AMS-WAW and WAW-KBP. The new terminal at WAW shou...

Dear all, It seems that SAS has grounded all of its DH4s after the Aalborg and Vilnius incidents. This is causing havoc in most of Northern Europe. I was personally scheduled to fly on one of SAS' DH4s tomorrow from CPH to GDN. Since the purpose of the trip was a meeting in the afternoon and SAS are...

OK. Many thanks

Thanks guys.

Don't the bags have to be approved? Are they selling them/giving them away at Brussels airport at all? I remember they used to hand them out when the new regulations had just entered into force.

Dear all, After hours of cumulated waiting time at baggage carrousels and an impressive number of lost bags (almost exclusively on AZ) in the last months when checking in luggage, and after finding myself with no shaving cream or toothpaste more than once when taking carry-on only, I have finally de...

My girlfriend and I happen to be going to the Caucasus for three weeks in August. We are booked on AirBaltic Brussels-Riga-Baku outbound, and Tbilisi-Riga-Brussels return. In all, about 550 EUR (although we booked a few weeks ago). I've never flown on AirBaltic but they seem all right. In addition, ...

Was checking the Brussels Airport site to see the arrival time of my colleague, and saw the expected arrival of a Middle East Airlines (MEA) Airbus 330 from Montego Bay / Punta Cana. Sked: 09.55, Estimated: 15.38.

Rutger,

Thanks for the info. Do 07 landings occur frequently actually?

Chris

Hello all,

Looking out of my window in Central Brussels today (25th Feb 2007), I noticed numerous aircraft on finals for what seems to be 07L or 07R. Simple question: why? I thought that this was avoided at any cost.

Any info appreciated.

Happy landings,

Dear all, With the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Treaty of Rome being held in Brussels and Berlin (and indeed numerous other cities), the question occured to me how European Commissioners - and in particular Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso - fly when going on official missions? I can...

Dear all, I am travelling to the US on Delta in early December: BRU-ATL-FLL-JFK-BRU. For now I've booked economy on all sectors, but for the return transatlantic leg that I am taking with my girlfriend I am thinking of upgrading to BusinessElite. Do any of you have experience with getting a courtesy...

Dear all, I wanted to pick your brains regarding the feasibility of direct service between Brussels or Charleroi and Gdansk. Do you think the route would at this point make sense for SN, LOT, SkyEurope, WizzAir or anyone else? And/or are there any rumours regarding the interest of one or the other c...

Thanks for that valuable insight, guys. Seems like a reasonable tactic on the side of KLM.

Happy landings,

Chrisflyer

Dear all, I have a quick question relating to the following: KLM has a daily flight (KL1734) departing BRU at 21.45, arriving AMS at 22.45. Given that there are almost no same-day connecting flights at AMS after 11pm, except for the occasional BON-GYE-UIO, I was wondering who uses that late BRU-AMS ...

Thanks for the comments. Expect an extensive trip report upon my return.

Happy landings,

Chris

BRU-LHR on BD
LHR-SFO on UA

Why not BRU-SFO with UA? (via IAD)

That would have been an option, but:
- it was not offered while booking;
- I reckon that the 777 on LHR-SFO is superior to the 763 on BRU-IAD and the narrowbody (319?) on IAD-SFO.

Thanks for the good advice. However, the company booked for me the following routing. Interesting to say the least... Saturday 4 March: BRU-LHR on BD LHR-SFO on UA SFO-YVR on UA Tuesday 7 March: YVR-SEA on AC (Jazz) Thursday 9 March: SEA-ORD on UA ORD-FRA on LH FRA-BRU on LH Any thoughts? Will post ...

Hello all,

I will need to travel from Brussels to Vancouver and back from Seattle to Brussels in March. Any suggestions from you guys about what airline or routing to go for in order to have the most interesting travel experience?

Thanks,

Chris
