Re: Air Belgium in 2018
Can you also book a flight to Hong Kong on Air Belgium without this package? I've been trying every combination imaginable yesterday on the Connections website and I never get any Air Belgium flights there.Shengenzone wrote: ↑19 May 2018, 18:12 Air Belgium is launching a package deal to Hong Kong together with Connections travel agency.

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
The aircraft is still flying, just under a different registration. Hence, it’s not written off, it’s just cancelled in the Belgian register.

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
I'm a travel agent at Connections. Basically Air Belgium is not present in the GDS at this moment. The package deal is negotiated directly with Air Belgium. You could do the reservation in a travel shop (including with me), but there will be extra fees compared to a direct booking with them on their website.Ozzie1969 wrote: ↑20 May 2018, 19:50Can you also book a flight to Hong Kong on Air Belgium without this package?

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
Are the two other Air Belgium A340s already in the Belgian register? AFAIK they are planned asPassenger wrote: ↑21 May 2018, 00:04The former OO-ABC is now CS-EFG:
https://www.planelogger.com/Aircraft/Re ... EFG/871644
OO-ABD (ex-OH-LQD)
OO-ABE (ex-OH-LQE)
Maybe since OO-ABC became available, they will go for that one as well?

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
I sure do hope so. It would boost their sales. If I recall correctly, the failure to get into the GDS's was one of the reasons they named why they couldn't start flying the 30th of April. If I search for a direct CRL to HKG in June, all I get is Cathay (our GDS includes BRU if we search from CRL and vice versa).Ozzie1969 wrote: ↑21 May 2018, 15:41Is there a chance that Air Belgium flights will be in the GDS anytime soon ?Kenlybe wrote: ↑21 May 2018, 11:26I'm a travel agent at Connections.

I'm sure a lot of travel agents who aren't avgeeks would totally overlook them and just book Cathay or any other flights with a connection when asked.

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
Shouldn't the 14 EUR administration fee be included in the advertised prices?
Re: Air Belgium in 2018
Well that's what's the price should be. 349 euros is actually a really good competitive price for Air Belgium
