Brussels Airlines in 2026

[TimTam]

I saw in the "bad" pub of SN on Facebook...3 flights to Paris CDG...it's a good growth...only for connection I know...When will it begin ?

Can't find anything related to that.

I never understood why they didn't choose Orly; it's so much easier to use. And closer to the city?

Orly is closer to the "city" depending on where you live in Paris and its suroundings. Both Orly and Roissy are horrible airports. Flying to Orly would mean a slightly longer flight. Consequently, more expensive in terms of fuel consumption. Perhaps one or two wet-lease ATR flights from Orly in additional to the CDG flights could be a compomise. ???

LHG is just not present in Orly. There's no added value to ORY for network airlines. If a pax is going to fly for on a more than 10 hour-journey with a connecting flight, having a "longer" route to reach the airport is not going to be a problem. Plus, should a flight be canceled, there are more options for rebooking out of CDG than ORY, much more. It being competitors (AF/RAM/...) or LHG airlines.

The main issue on the CDG flights is the cargo. It takes a lot of time and volume. It is a Tetris game. The ATR cannot provide the same capacity as the A320 does.

Interesting to read a travel report on Brussels Airlines' BRU-JFK route in business class. It is not always flattering for the Belgian flagship airline, despite its many very Belgian features.

Flying the Belgian football team, the Red Devils to Atlanta for training, and I believe some matches too.

When flying SN the short-haul meal choices always seem so basic. I wonder why hot meals are only offered on a few routes +2h30 of flight time. And when will they plan to offer pre-order meals like LH?

Why is is that SN keeps being the 'worst' airline within the LH Group?

Is it incompetence? Lack of money? What is is?

Every ranking of this type is VERY subjective.

According to Aeroroutes, Brussels Airlines operated an A330-300 on SN2607/2608 to/from FRA on 8 April (yesterday)

SN2607 BRU0650 – 0800FRA 333
SN2608 FRA0910 – 1020BRU 333

Any reason for that big change of equipment?

No idea why, but it's not the first time. A few weeks/month ago, it also happened on this route.

You can't get an answer by just copy pasting a picture from the net.

But if you get a source, you may get an educated guess on what exactly rated.

- which criteria have been used?
-how were they weighted?
- who was rating ? internet poll, "influencer", consulting companies ? polls may not be representative, the other two groups may work very well fee based
- have been same criteria used for each brand, despite different product ? eg Singapore is not offering short haul flights, Croatia does not have a long haul product

Otherwise it is just begging for attention or for some fees.

On long haul for example in C class the best food on all airlines is with Brussels Airlines....no doubts!

But that's only one criteria but anyway they are not bad in this class but again that's my opinion.
