Departure flight 2/5 CRL-HKG
Return flight 4/5 HKG-CRL
Both are sold out in Premium and Business Class on the AB website. That's quick.

Thanks, still nothing now and hope they won't start within the next two hours as I've just boarded my SN flight to BRU...luchtzak wrote: ↑15 Apr 2018, 23:22Expect booking engine of the second test flight to open on Monday morning !!airtrainer wrote: ↑13 Apr 2018, 20:18 Any chance for a second flight ?

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
Thanks for posting the information! I guess they were taken by surprise that the demand for the scenic flight was that high and will have to perform some extra organisational work to set up the afternoon flight. Let's see if and when booking will start again...

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
i'm not sure why it's so cheap...
it's for charity, you could increase the price a bit

My messages reflect my personal opinion which may be different than yours. I beleive a forum is made to create a debate so I encourage people to express themselves, the way they want, with the ideas they want. I expect the same understanding in return.
Re: Air Belgium in 2018
I think they wanted/needed to operate the flight anyway with a full passenger load. Hence they needed to find a ticket price that would guarantee a full aircraft. But admittedly, they would have been able to fill up the aircraft with 75 EUR economy seats as well...
Best regards,
Ivan

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
Even when it's cheap there is someone to argue, but I was also happily surprised about the fares...
