When will we be able to know which flight plan for these flights? Would it be possible to know something about that?

About this booking,no queue, I'm really disappointed... Misair Belgium for me !
I'm not complaining but I waited during 14h for 2 seats,and all was gone,due to no queue,usually some airlines are doing it.

You were booking through a shopify store, which is a standard plugin to make a webshop. This was not the regular airline booking tool.

Well no, this time there were no seats for the press. If a press guy wanted to get onboard, he had to follow the same procedure as anyone.

Strange move, given the excellent coverage the press has given them for the announcement of the flight(s).

Or maybe they invited them, but prefer not to say so.

They won't, in their standard answer they say "hope to see you soon on one of our HK flights" or something else.
It's really sad and I'm angry against AB.

Seen the enormous succes of those 2 'rehearsal' 3h-flights,the positive vibe around Air Belgium and the disappointment of many Avgeeks in not getting onboard,maybe they could still do a 3d/4th flight under the form of a (commercial) ''daycharter"' to a touristic or not so common destination in France,Italy,.. Some suggestions: Montpellier,Perpignan,Le Havre,Lourdes ;) ,Genua,... With reasonable prices it should be possible to fill the plane again and recover the costs for the flight(s) and even donate a part for charity. Win-win for all parties involved.

That at least is good news.

I dond't think that's the view from the newsdesk at Belga and/or at Het Laatste Nieuws, given the free publicity they have given Air Belgium on 13th April:

OO-ABA has a flightplan for EBLG, not EBCI, with about half an hour delay now.
T/O around 1620 local.
EDIT:
Delayed again, T/O in BRU foreseen at 1640 local now.

Departure in Brussels is now foreseen at 1640 local, arrival in Liege at around 1700 local indeed. So the aircraft is not routing Brussels (BRU)- Brussels (CRL), but BRU-LGG-CRL.
As such, the times noted in the second flightplan (LGG-CRL) shouldn’t be taken into account, since the activation of that plan will depend upon the first, and won’t be updated until the aircraft is in Liege and has done the circuits.

Not really professional, even if there is no passenger on board, ridiculous AB.
Yes I hate AB since yesterday, but if they don't apologise them, it's going to be CX!

Quite funny to see how imature your reaction is. Because you were not lucky enough to get a ticket for saturday's flight, you start hating AB. Today, everyone wants everything, immediately. I have tried to get one ticket too, but i'm not crying because i'll not board that plane saturday. I'm happy for the lucky ones.

Don't forget that it is a new airline. They do their best. They organise 2 flights for charities and some poeple still complain. That's insane.
