OK, I didn't get answer 4. :-(, so I got stuck with the 31 inch seat on all sectors. Anyhow, here a short trip report: BRU Checked in on the internet (handy as you can skip the lines at the airport) Arrived well on time at the airport.

Zitten er geen normale bus gates onder de B-pier? Ik denk dat ik daar ooit vertrokken ben.

If I remember well, the difference is that in the 6th freedom you sell B to C via A as one ticket. When you use a combination of 3rd and 4th freedom rights you have to sell to tickets B to A and A to C.

A Home country
B Country of origin
C Country of destination

Dear regi, actually my agent looked to Premium Economy and it was 400€ or 500€ more expensive then the 600€ ticket I booked now. Almost the double. Since I still have to look to my budget I've chosen the 31inch seat. In fact my brother in law once flew to Seattle in Premium Economy and he was very h...

BRU LHR YVR with BA

Hi, on the 14th I'm flying BA to Vancouver via Heathrow (economy of course :( ). I know BA is pretty good between Brussels and Heathrow. But has anybody experience with BA on long distance?

Thanx in advance,

Cheers,

About transferring in Europe: CDG is a complete disaster due to - arrogant ingnorant service agents (and that's when they're not on strike) - when changing from Thalys to AF you have to carry your luggage from the train to the terminal. - Terminal 2 A. B, C, D are old and need a restoration - Termin...

Flew once in a Tristar from Salt Lake City to JFK with Delta. I remember that there were no overhead bins on the middle, thus creating a lot of space. It looked like a church in there. Apart from that the tristar seemed to have difficulty taking from Salt Lake City as we had to unload some cargo bec...

Strange, with BA you can even reserve your seat at the moment of booking for lang haul economy flights. AA is even better: you can reserve every seat on every flight in every class. But probably it depends on the airliner policy. I never flew LH long haul. Cheers, Stij P.S. Try Taking the Maglev fro...

Dear 747rules,

I understand your reasoning, but this was at 0:30 last night. I wouldn't call it a peak moment. And as I walk at 5km/h and the trolleys at 30km/h they should have an advantage over me.

Don't know if this is the correct forum, but it's a "handling experience". I flew last night from BGY to BRU on TV. We were parked pretty far on the A pier, I was sitting on the very last row of the aircraft, left the aircraft as the last person, our group walked pretty slow to the baggage...

I have a proposition for a solution for BRU: The government plays real-estate agent. 1. You abolish any limit there is on night and day flights. 2. You design a runway-utilization-scheme that, making use of the existing runwaysystem, is the most performant and safe their is, not taking into account ...

What I think of an Avro RJ? To say it with the words of a SN steward on a flight from Glasgow to Brussels:

"Welcome aboard of this Avro Regional Jet 85. It looks like a chicken, but it flies like an eagle."

(he actually said that, no joke)
