Waauw NCB, you never give up, don't you? The above Olympic Air C/CL cabin is only installed on two aircraft if I'm not mistaken, as you might know they replaced their B737-400 fleet by sourcing A32Ss from different companies. The interior in the above picture was already installed so they didn't cha...

Some consideration must be given to parting some major routes from their triangular operating model into stand-alone routes. It should be possible to rotate an A333 in quick 75 minutes at base and do BRU-DKR-BRU-ABJ-BRU-DKR-BRU-DLA/NSI-BRU in 48 hours, thereby maximising the aircraft's potential. E...

MR Boeing wrote:that means SN has ordered the new seats too late.

...or SN has ordered the seats on time but the manufacturer cannot deliver them on time

I would say the end of the month is more realistic

Says who? I havent't seen the delivery period specified in any of the Brussels Airlines' communications...

Will be delivered 10th of March. "It will be delivered" shows a degree of certainty, so it would be nice if you mention your source if it's publicly available, which is (I assume) in this case a bad copy paste from Skyliner Aviation. They mention "Mar10" which is basically March...

Air Key West is right: avoid troubles in case of irregularities and book your BRU-LHR in the same reservation as your LHR-SIN. Why would you take this routing actually? It looks a bit strange to me to buy a LHR-SIN on BA operated by QF and a BRU-LHR seperately. Whether you fly BRU-LHR on BA or SN: i...

Nope, my VISA bill showed clearly 1 euro. For me it was the proof that booking fees and airport taxes are just fictional costs. If an airline can reduce taxes, , I conclude it are not taxes but just imaginary costs. You're quite fast in jumping to conclusions... the 1 EUR bill of Brussels Airlines ...

You cannot book redemption tickets in b.light on Brussels Airlines. When booking a redemption ticket in Economy Class, you'll automatically be seated in b.flex. Business = b.business, no doubt about that. As for the advantages that come with a ticket in b.business: you're right, you get all advantag...

But many airlines have been reducing their capacity because of lower demand and because of winter. So,I guess finding some planes and crews to operate a 1 week shuttle can not be that difficult. 1 crew could make 4 rotations a day on these short Channel hops,...or not? I understand it might seem lo...

Why not set up a (temporary) airshuttle between Southend & Lydd to Ostend Not very realistic, letting a plane fly is not like dispatching a cab to some place. You need a plane and more important a crew. Crews are bound to some serious duty time regulations etc. so after the awful weather in Eur...

You must have good sources then

the most efficient way for unions to get concessions from the employers, is to positively influence the cost aspect of their demands and whenever their demands have an inherently negative cost aspect attached to them, make sure that it is cheaper to accept the demand, than it is to reject it. You g...

And by the way, LX-LGX, if the delayed flight is only back in BRU tomorrow around 1030 am, it probably means it takes more than two hours to repair the problem after the technicians arrived in DKR. Again an unnecessary conclusion... if you look at brusselsairport.be, you'll notice that SN1206 is in...

Am I too pessimistic or do b.air's A330s really have technical problems too often ? Could you please be so kind to share Brussels Airlines' dispatch reliability figures with us, and compare them to the average dispatch reliability of other A330 operators? As this is the kind of info you need to dra...

it seems that a 737 from jetairfly had to return to BRU after take off: Just for your information: when a flight is indicated at brusselsairport.be as 'departed', it doesn't necessarily mean that the flight got airborne. As far as I know, this flight only got airborne after its second departure (an...

SN 1203, do you think it is legal to charge a fuel tax which is higher than the price of the fuel used for your trip? Do you know how much Brussels Airlines is paying for its fuel bill? Don't forget that most airlines are still stuck in expensive hedging contracts, which is why most airlines still ...

Hi SN1203 ! I am glad my controversial posts spark some interesting reactions You can always contact me privately (private messages) if there's anything you'd like to discuss. C and b.flex just check in at the regular C/I and board via the jetway (like every two class flight) while the b.light pax ...

I am not surprised, they seem to have a serious flaw at their PR and commercial departments, if they actually exist at all.. the last mishap was the 20% discount.. the discount was only on the basic fare.. not of taxes and charges.. hence a one way 49 euro was discounted 20 euro cents. and so on.. ...

The ones of us that some will consider to be impatient or unrealistic, but who would rather call themselves pro-active, and I am one of the latter May I go for option number 3, i.e. "making a lot of wind without knowing at least part of the background of some decisions"? You never seem to...

I think you make small mistake about Nice ALL the intercontinental flights are departing in the morning so from there you have no chance to the US,Africa,Asia etc.. Correct... but that was my point, no? And yes Nice is a high yield destination Says who? Unless you're an insider, you probably don't ...
