Re: Air Belgium in 2018
So just waisted one full day looking after that flight, guys they say tomorrow at 10!!!!!
Re: Air Belgium in 2018
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.

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
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)?

- 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.

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

They just posted the following on Twitter (not yet in English):
Onze website ondervindt technische problemen, maar onze IT'ers doen er alles aan om ze op te lossen. Om 12.00 uur geven we jullie een nieuwe update, maar tot dan zal de ticketverkoop voor de tweede vlucht zeker niet van start gaan. Bedankt voor jullie geduld.

Due to the big success of our first rehearsal flight, we're organizing a second flight this Saturday at 17:00. As of 12:00, you can book your tickets on http://airbelgium.com/flytogether . Be quick, because seats are limited. #SimplyFlyAway
