US media is reporting that a person who recently got Ebola, flew with Brussels airlines before connecting to an United flight in BRU.

Scary, is this being reported in Belgium and are the co pax on flight being informed?

Are there any plans to integrate the various TUI fly airlines across Europe into 1 airliner?

Nice pictures!

How were you able to have access to the tarmac?

And the DC flight is part of the joint venture with United & Lufthansa, so loss & income are shared, so I don't think it is hurting Brussels Airlines directly so much.

Connecting in ORD is not easy. You will have to leave the international terminal, go outside and take a small train to the correct UA domestic terminal and go to a security checkpoint which has usually very long lines. 1.55 hours doesnt seem a lot in case something goes wrong. ORD is a huge airport ...

According to this newspaper article, the return flight was indeed 100% full, but what is more interesting given the discussions about the timing of the flight, is that it mentions it carried 85 connecting passengers to Africa. http://www.lalibre.be/economie/actualite/brussels-airlines-joue-gros-aux...

perhaps something to consider, both SFO and LAX are also server by LH (from MUC and FRA) and LX + UA does FRA out of SFO so the bigger O&D market has the best chance in needing more seats/flights. i can't see much destinations out of either of them for connecting pax, asia is best served going ...

My vote is on EWR.

So the consensus here is that the next US destination will be EWR

United used to have a "direct" from SFO to BRU for years (with a stopover in IAD) for years... I wouldn't call that a "direct" or even a "one-stop" flight...it was just the flight number that continued on to SFO, but it still operated like two different flights (so for...

Well, I guess it needs to be an United hub... so hubs with no service to BRU are LAX, SFO, DEN & IAH...

If I had to guess, I would pick SFO 3 flights a week.... United used to have a "direct" from SFO to BRU for years (with a stopover in IAD) for years...

I am sure Brussels Airlines was expecting Easyjet's arrival in Brussels.

Virgin Express had a gentleman's agreement with EZ that kept them out of BRU; now that Virgin Express is gone, Easyjet will expand agressively in BRU.

what about BRU-IAD-SEA-ANC or BRU-CPH-SEA-ANC on United?

Isn't Jetair part of TUI and doesnt TUI have other EU planes available?

The US aviation industry has these ownership rules because the government can order the US airliners to fly US army troops anywhere in the world. These would be hard to do with foreign owned airliners

Music is very good!!

Thanksgiving holiday week in USA.

Business almost shut down and families are flying domestically to eat the big bird together...

Regretfully, the A380 is taking Airbus down; airbus would not have started the project if governments were not providing interest free loans for the A380 project. I know the Economist is extreme free-market oriented and anti-French, but maybe old sclerotic Europe can learn a few things from the Angl...

Well, it seems like they used business logic by virtually keeping the same name. Also, I think the new logo has to grow on you. :lol: I am also glad they finally cut the cord with Sabena and removed the SN from the name. I know there are many nostalgic people here dreaming of the return of Sabena wh...

Imagine again non-stop flights between LAX - BRU, SFO -BRU and MIA -BRU: I flew once with Citybird B763 to MIA and LAX and those flights were overbooked !!!! Don't know how VG Airlines was doing on the LAX route. I flew VG on LAX-BRU; I was VG's only profitable flight (I did fly further to Armenia)...
