always nice to have a new long-haul carrier at BRU.

Welcome to BRU Thai Airways!

every last flight on these is a bit like saying farewell to the B737-300 haha and togheter with our similar aviation species it will be a nice day out ! true! and just checked, actually the -300 is one 737 variant I have yet to fly (although not so different from a -400 I guess), so that's nice.

very nice!
A 737-300 is not high on my 'to-fly' list, but a sunday trip to AGP in Bflex for only 90 euro is just too tempting . Count me in!

the 5B5 variant seems to have 2 kN less max. thrust and a slightly higher bypass ratio. So I guess this won't give too many commonality problems (as opposed to OO-SSP which has CFM engines from a different series, CFM56-5A)

interesting!
I have the same question actually

it's a possibility, these A333 also have P&W engines.

will this evolve into an hourly shuttle-service?

And here we go: the fulll TR is posted on my blog: http://point-n-spot.blogspot.com/2011/03/30-minutes-in-prg-with-korongo-12032011.html (with all the pictures, it would have been too much work to have it directly on the forum, and I can be a bit lazy sometimes :mrgreen: ) thanks for this great rep...

it just needs some tweaking and debugging probably, then I think it will be a very nice update!

check it out!

It seems easier to navigate the site and the timetable has got a nice update!

Do you have more information on this? Or is it just your guess about new AFI destinations?

SN and LH (and *A) will be watching this very closely. Is it reasonable to believe they are already preparing things to implement when 9W will indeed leave BRU? Of course, what are the numbers of pax 9W is carrying now between BRU and JFK/EWR/YYZ (excl. the Indian originating pax, cause those will b...

ok thanks a lot!
you probably need a good zoom lens to cover this distance.

very nice pictures!

where do you guys stand when taking these pictures? Can you maybe point out with coordinates or on google maps or something? Seems to be a great spotting point.
Thx!

when it will indeed be an ex-swiss bird, it will be a -200. They're phasing those out in favour of the -300.

better pictures:

looks great! a pity that these cabin pictures look somewhat amateuristic (maybe it's just for Facebook...)

these different colors on the headrests (red=b.light, blue=b.flex and grey=business), is this a new introduction together with the new seats?

this thread is so annoying...when I enter the forum and see there's a new post in the 'latest aviation news' board, I always hope for some real news on aviation, not this BeOnTop discussion/wannabe ceo/people bashing-thing. so please archive it until there is some real news about this so called new ...

ok, i see...and looking at the fares, they really seem to focus on the premium market.

That's also the reason why IAD is downgraded to a 763 during the summer.

AFAIK, this route remains on T7 during summer
