When are you starting with your training?

In July last year I flew BA from BRU via LHR on my way to Australia with QF.
From what I've noticed: from the 100 aboard, about 10 individuals went to the exit, everybody else to the busses and of those, about 70 went to T3.
So I guess it's even more than 75% connecting during the school holidays.
Hey! Thanks :)
Dont have a start date yet, as the referencing process can take a while, but the sooner the better ;)

Congrats man! :D

How much others did they recruit? Other Belgian ones, or are you the only one?
Maybe I'll see you in 5 years (still 1.5 years studying at CAE BRU, a couple of years low cost and then maybe BA? Who knows :))

Have fun! :D

I booked a BA September trip BRU-LHR-YUL mainly because I will hit OWE by friday.
Curious for the T5 First lounge amid others.

depending on where one is in Belgium, and where one needs to be in London.
I for one, only fly cityjet to LCY from ANR.. The fastest and most convenient option.
2 hrs by train from brussels zuid.. one needs to be there 30 min in advance.. add about 1 hour local
train trip, and with belgian rail punctuality record, one can not take risks... the whole trip becomes
4 hours if one does not live in Brussels.. flights are still viable as options.

It all depends where you come from in Belgium and where you have to be in London.
BTW: the 30min isn't strictly enforced at all... I try to arrive at South Station just 30min in advance, but when there's a delay and I arrive there 15min ahead, no questions are asked whatsoever.

Cheers,

Nice report! I will be using terminal five for the first time in September. Is there any good viewing there? I like to photograph my aircraft before boarding and I am still trying to bag the elusive A380.
