Re: Air Belgium in 2018
When will we be able to know which flight plan for these flights? Would it be possible to know something about that?
Re: Air Belgium in 2018
Crl, dinant, la roche, houffalize, bastogne, Rochefort, spa, malmedy, liege, namur, crl.
Vaguely biased.

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
About this booking,no queue, I'm really disappointed... Misair Belgium for me !
I'm not complaining but I waited during 14h for 2 seats,and all was gone,due to no queue,usually some airlines are doing it.

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
You were booking through a shopify store, which is a standard plugin to make a webshop. This was not the regular airline booking tool.TLspotting wrote: ↑17 Apr 2018, 19:25 About this booking,no queue, I'm really disappointed... Misair Belgium for me !

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
Well no, this time there were no seats for the press. If a press guy wanted to get onboard, he had to follow the same procedure as anyone.Vic Diesel wrote: ↑17 Apr 2018, 12:45 I also guess that a good portion of those seats were never REALLY up for sale: you know how badly family & friends need free flights. And press guys as well who usually get their buttocks polished by airline PR-guys' tongues in exchange for some "friendly articles"...

Strange move, given the excellent coverage the press has given them for the announcement of the flight(s).sn26567 wrote: ↑17 Apr 2018, 23:50Well no, this time there were no seats for the press.

Or maybe they invited them, but prefer not to say so.

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
They won't, in their standard answer they say "hope to see you soon on one of our HK flights" or something else.
It's really sad and I'm angry against AB.

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
Seen the enormous succes of those 2 'rehearsal' 3h-flights,the positive vibe around Air Belgium and the disappointment of many Avgeeks in not getting onboard,maybe they could still do a 3d/4th flight under the form of a (commercial) ''daycharter"' to a touristic or not so common destination in France,Italy,.. Some suggestions: Montpellier,Perpignan,Le Havre,Lourdes ,Genua,... With reasonable prices it should be possible to fill the plane again and recover the costs for the flight(s) and even donate a part for charity. Win-win for all parties involved.Quote

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
I dond't think that's the view from the newsdesk at Belga and/or at Het Laatste Nieuws, given the free publicity they have given Air Belgium on 13th April:

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
An A343 Air Belgium should come and make a touch and go in LGG today at +- 1600 LT.

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
Departure from Brussels at 15:50L, Arrival at Brussels expected at... 17:00L

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
OO-ABA has a flightplan for EBLG, not EBCI, with about half an hour delay now.
T/O around 1620 local.
EDIT:
Delayed again, T/O in BRU foreseen at 1640 local now.

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
Departure in Brussels is now foreseen at 1640 local, arrival in Liege at around 1700 local indeed. So the aircraft is not routing Brussels (BRU)- Brussels (CRL), but BRU-LGG-CRL.
As such, the times noted in the second flightplan (LGG-CRL) shouldn’t be taken into account, since the activation of that plan will depend upon the first, and won’t be updated until the aircraft is in Liege and has done the circuits.

Yes I hate AB since yesterday, but if they don't apologise them, it's going to be CX!

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
Quite funny to see how imature your reaction is. Because you were not lucky enough to get a ticket for saturday's flight, you start hating AB. Today, everyone wants everything, immediately. I have tried to get one ticket too, but i'm not crying because i'll not board that plane saturday. I'm happy for the lucky ones.TLspotting wrote: ↑18 Apr 2018, 16:05Not really professional, even if there is no passenger on board, ridiculous AB.KriVa wrote: ↑18 Apr 2018, 15:59 Departure in Brussels is now foreseen at 1640 local, arrival in Liege at around 1700 local indeed.

Don't forget that it is a new airline. They do their best. They organise 2 flights for charities and some poeple still complain. That's insane.
