Re: BRU A380 ready in december, press briefing today about the A380?

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...

Re: Diversions from around the globe (medical, technical, ...) 2017

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...

Re: Diversions from around the globe (medical, technical, ...) 2017

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?

Brussels Airlines rewards scheme (Miles and More / Loop)

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 !

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

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.
