BRU getting A380 ready.
Airport door mockup on the left

I know there are none now, but why only one? If that one A380-gate has an issue, that's a problem for an A380. If there should ever be more than one A380 (one scheduled + one diversion?), that's a problem too, and if EK decides to schedule an A380, it limits the possibility for another airline in t...

Nope. Only once

Can you tell us on which flight you were rebooked and your delay on arrival in IAH compared to your initial schedule? Sure! We were notified when flying over Iceland safety is crucial and we would return because of the reasons I stated earlier. Upon arrival FRA airport was quite chaotic, as all peo...

LH440 returning Oil leak in engine Isn't that a long way to go with a leak in the engine, all the way from Iceland to Frankfurt? It's true that the A380 has four of them and can easily miss one... Easier/faster* to bring back plane and repair in FRA. I was on that flight :-( Not to mention the unde...

It was a return flight the same day indeed, spend my time in the lounge to wait for my return flight to Brussels.

Whilst some would give an arm and a leg to fly business class one day, you did a return flight without any purpose.

yes but does M&M make sense if you're under 30 flights per year?
So my guess would be you have to make a choice at the start of the year and stick to it - if you want some benefit?

Hiya

I'm curious to discover what you think about M&M vs Loop. When to choose what?

In my mind: only if you are sure to take 30 flights or really long distances in 1 year M&M is a good choice, otherwise i'd go for loop.

Shame the M&M logic requires you to do it all in 1 year.

keep in mind that airplane design is not 2D but 3D (as it's mounted on a curving edge).

I guess that the Q400-operated flights will be served by SSJ100s.

It's about time! Flying the Q400, what a nightmare !

do not worry, not worse or better than any other European airport.

Nice building! Only issue which comes to mind is the giant running distance to reach certain vehicles (panning shot at 00:29)

As per my recent experience, some of the seat USB chargers and outlets in terminal A are working. Majority isn't .

Yes exactly what I meant, it is no longer possible to go upstairs and visit the panoramadeck.
Pier B "plaza" is all ground-floor now.

SN2095 to LHR delayed due to technical reason. Had to switch planes

Funny thing on the eGates: you step into the booth and it was not working. Police man was shouting several times: "number 6 please try again". When going out I had to tell him that from his side numbers are printed on the gates, but if you're inside the booth you don't know which number yo...

no i mean after security/border control in terminal B you have the Plaza, and you used to were able to go up and walk around there
