i'm not sure why it's so cheap...
it's for charity, you could increase the price a bit

I think they wanted/needed to operate the flight anyway with a full passenger load. Hence they needed to find a ticket price that would guarantee a full aircraft. But admittedly, they would have been able to fill up the aircraft with 75 EUR economy seats as well...

Best regards,
Ivan

Even when it's cheap there is someone to argue, but I was also happily surprised about the fares...

Me too. Usually, when it's too good to be true, it's not true...except when flying the Air Belgium rehearsal flight

Best regards,

That's why I added in a short time lol. While I don't post often I'm a daily visitor, don't worry for that

No news is good news they say but in this case they make a lot of AV Geeks nervous

No rumours about the time?

I wonder if the delay is done on purpose to maintain attention on their owned medias or because they really struggle to operate an extra rehearsal flight. I hardly believe they couldn’t anticipate the success of the first flight given the bargain price in economy. Many people are now waiting for getting on their first flight ever.

For the lucky ones who managed to book a place on the first flight: can you book several seats at once? Are they (temporarily) blocked until you complete the payment? Are the payment methods the same as on the regular booking module (i.e. credit card and Maestro)?

Is that what they told you while contacting them ? Their webpage isn't updated...
10am tomorrow is also the inauguration of the spotting platform at BRU !

Their Twitter account says the following:

We’re still checking all operational aspects of the second rehearsal flight this Saturday afternoon. We'll keep you posted as soon as all parties involved give us the green light. We're doing our utmost to start the online bookings this Tuesday at 10 AM. Thanks for your patience.

Just registered to reply to your questions:

Yes, you can book multiple seats at once - even in different booking classes.
(I first picked economy but then a business class seat became available, so I booked that instead)

Since Air Belgium seems to be using a Shopify store for these special flights (https://store.airbelgium.com), I think the seats are blocked once they are in your shopping cart.

You can pick the type of meal you would like (Kosher, Gluten, ...), as part of the booking

You can pay with credit card. I am not sure about Maestro.

Good luck!

According to wikipedia, KF will be the IATA code of Air Belgium.

KF for King Filip ?

I hope they'll resolve the issue before 10am otherwise, it will turn into a first bad buzz for the company...

Chances are that’s because of high (-er than anticipated) traffic load.
