Re: VLM Airlines news 2018

I've never understood why the new VLM wanted to hold on to the old Fokker 50's.

The name VLM has been in existence since 1992. If KLM minded, they would have mentioned it by now.

Last deal they found (tweet/update 1h ago): 97 EUR RT from OSL, ARN or CPH to the US

Re: BRU Summer 2018: news, new routes, airlines

Why not Manila? The number of Filipinos in Belgium is large and the Middle Eastern carriers could easily add MNL as a destination from Brussels with just one stop-over. Huh? That’s already possible, obviously. What I meant was for Brussels Airlines to have Manila as a destination, possibly in codes...

Re: Brussels to Billund (and back)

I guess I'm just an unlucky so-and-so then. In fact the only times I didn't have damaged luggage was on a trip to Manila and a trip to Adelaide, but on both occasions I had arrived at my destination while my luggage was still in Brussels Airport (did get it after a few days, luckily). The other time...

Siem Reap Airport in Cambodia. They had a conveyor belt for the luggage that was about 2 meters long.
