Re: Reopening Brussels Airport after the 22/03/2016 terror attacks

New Brussels Airport advisory published this afternoon: For both Schengen and non-Schengen flights, passengers are advised to arrive at Brussels Airport 3 hours ahead of their departure time. Really? :? I should be landing BRU on QR195 april 30 but all QR flights to BRU are canceled so far and depa...

I booked a BA September trip BRU-LHR-YUL mainly because I will hit OWE by friday.

Re: BRU infrastructure: future

That so called "Stupid shopping mall" is only a few meters that you have to go through. It's even not big but a very small one. If you don't agree with that so called "shopping mall" write your complaint then to the airport itself or is that too much asked? ;) ;) I first need to...

Re: LX782 ZRH-BRU (operated by Helvetic Airways Embraer190)

Funny report, thank you! I think I flew that Embraer 190 last September on my BRU-ZRH-YUL trip, but I "Only" paid 550 euro return for the whole trip. I didn't like the experience too much though at ZRH, having to take that train to the other terminal and passport control before the train, ...

Re: TG: BRU not profitable, could be axed

BRU-BKK is a route that has potential .. I know lots of people who wouldn't consider a stop in the gulf on a 12 hrs route. Too much hassle .. and fatigue plays a role. Add a nice enough Y service and a not too heavy a premium for the unique non-stop offering. However if they want to lure the busine...

Re: Malaysia B772 AMS-KUL flight crashed near Donetsk, Ukrai

The Ukrainians did it. Rests to be seen who gave the order: the Ukrainian government, rogue military, private interests or too much Vodka. You forgot the pro-Russian separatists in your list. And I'm sure that there is a way to determine who exactly committed the mass murder, it's only a question o...

Re: Malaysia B772 AMS-KUL flight crashed near Donetsk, Ukrai

It is disgusting, shooting down a civilian aircraft and killing 298 people, mostly families with children. Why can't those who pushed the button simply acknowledge their action? Take responsibility for Christ sake! These rebels post on websites, if they pushed the button I guess they are too stupid ...
