Re: Planning of petition "retro livery"

As an ex CCM of Sabena I will never support this idea. Still hurting me to see Sabena logo. I lost a part of the most beautiful part of my life this sad 7th November 2001.

Re: Brussels Airlines' third US destination

Yes ... I'm completely agree ... When a see how many flights are cancelled for the moment I hope for them they will be more organized with their fleet. Just hear that they planned 18 rotations with Euro Atlantic for the entire year and they are at 19 rotations and we are not yet at half 2013. Good l...

Re: Why a name on the ticket ?

I was also surprised few weeks ago. I checked in with Brussels Airlines for a Brussels Venice. My ID was not checked at check-in. I passed the "immigration" with my boarding pass and when I boarded the airplaine, my ID was not checked. Result : I could fly with the ticket of another person...

Re: Best economy class to US

Air Key West wrote:How do you book Eco Plus on UA and how much does it cost ? Could not find it on their web site, but perhaps I didn't search properly.
You can ask directly at check-in to the agent. It's 71 EUR for a BRU-EWR or BRU-ORD or BRU-IAD.

Enjoy it !

Re: Brussels Airlines flight attendants strike?

I flew few years ago (after Sabena and Sobelair) for Thomas Cook Airlines and we had Brussels - Louxor - Hurghada - Brussels. I suppose Brussels Airlines staff want to stay at least 3 days in Egypt after a Brussels - Cairo ?
