Re: short flight report BRU-AGP-BRU with SN in C-class

I forgot to share this earlier:

Re: Brussels Airlines announces new short haul product

Hello,
Anyone here can confirm if Miles&More Frequent Travellers would still benefit from one extra piece of checked luggage when travelling on Check&Go fares ?

Re: Air France and Air Mauritius extend cooperation agreemen

"Air France is reaffirming its commitment to provide its full support to Air Mauritius in its aim to join the global airline alliance SkyTeam"

I wonder: what's in it for Air France - KLM in terms of network expansion, besides Perth and Durban ?

Re: My experience on Brussels Airlines' from Washington IAD

Boarding process was rather chaotic, somehow everybody coming from other flight needed new boarding pass for the SN flight? It was probably the US visa check. Seems that no improvements have been made by SN since my flight last December: https://www.aviation24.be/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=49545

Re: Flying Turkish Airlines from Brussels to Africa in Busin

Nice report. Just one detail: did you have to stay on board in Ouagadougou, or were you allowed to disembark (to a lounge?) ? We had to stay on board, which explains why there was no proper cleaning (the Burkinabe cleaners just picked trash easily reachable from the aisle). That was an interesting ...

Thanks for your responses. Finally made it to BRU via GVA with Swiss, landing in BRU at 12:06 yesterday instead of the scheduled 06:40 (i.e. a delay of 5h06 minutes). So we could not resume work yesterday morning as planned. I will e-mail SN this week-end to request compensation for the 2 of us for ...
