SN: impossible to book a return flight from Paris to Europe

Hey,

It seems to be impossible to book any flights from CDG to Europe via BRU on brussels airlines. Why ? Schedules on some destinations are OK but no possibility to book... However, this is possible on the african network and also the US cities...

I hope they will solve this problem soon...

Cheers,

Vincent

Can anybody help me ? I have to admit I am a little fed up with the 3 hrs drive from Paris (where I live) to Brussels Airport (where I usually catch the planes of my fav' carrier brussels airlines !). Yes... I must be mad but I think I am really in love with your "home airline"...
The thing is that I would like to benefit from the CDG-BRU-CDG rotation as I already did while flying from CDG to DKR via BRU... Unfortunately, the same does not apply to Europe !

Please help me !!!!

I am no expert, but I have seen the CDG flight at BRU, and it is operated by a AXIS airways 737, for the sole purpose of providing tranfer pax for the lucrative Africa market from France.
Perhaps SN has enough customers flying CDG-Africa to fill the 737, and leasing another a/c for european transfer pax is not profitable?

Just my thoughts on the matter, no facts to back it up...

I remember the old times when Sabena had 4 or 5 daily flights between CDG and BRU. I tried them on a CDG-BRU-FRA flight and return the same way...

I think the route is not operated by AXIS anymore... It seems that brussels airlines nows uses EUROPE AIRPOST 737s (nice service... as I tried it flying CDG-BRU-DKR).

Take the Thalys to gare Brussel midi and from there the airport express to Brussels Airport

or try the tgv to lyon or strasbourg and start your SN flight from there via bru

OK... I must admit I am a true mad brussels airlines fan but... the easiest way would be to open bookings on the CDG-BRU-CDG to all potential passengers on the european brussels airlines destinations...
