After a nice fifth freedom flight and a few great days in Budapest it was time to head back home! Like my outbound journey I made another open jaw ticket with my previous trip to catch the Korean Air Boeing 777! So I booked Brussels-Frankfurt-Vienna/Budapest-Brussels

Budapest departure: 80%
With the exception of having to wait a while before check-in opens (not BUD or SN's fault) and being throwed in a duty free zone it was pretty nice passing trough here. I was really impressed by the very open departure hall post-security

Appearence of OO-SSK: 80%
Nice and maintained
Seat comfort: 70%
NEK seats as we all know them, legroom was very good. The padding and the neck room wasn't good at all.

Crew:80%
Our crew was very friendly and super motivated

Catering: 70%
The tapas plate was nice and good price/Quality value

Brussels Arrival 70%
Since it was the end of the "Krokus" holidays it was a very busy evening in Brussels

Total score: 75%
Brussels Airlines preformed pretty good here, especially thanks to our very motivated crew. Seats where fairly comfortable and catering (in the evening) is good price/quality! Nothing to complain about.

Another nice report (incl. video), Marc. You got the standard treatment with on-time departure and arrival, which is what you should have expected.

I also tried the tapas several times. Not the Spanish style, but good and moderate price.

Did you have the map display on the screen during your flight? I last flew on "K" in 2005 from BRU-BHX and we had the map display on, that is the last time I saw it on any of our Belgian airline flights.
