Lufthansa A300 Upgrade FRA-BRU-FRA

The last few weeks Lufthansa is regulary upgrading the morning flight from Frankfurt towards Brussels and back from A320-series to an A300. My question about that is: the upgrade is mostly on a saturday or a holiday. Why's that? I thought these flights are mostly used by business passengers. Anyone ...

I'm flying Brussels-Geneva-Brussels twice a month with Brussels Airlines. So far, I've allways taken the early ride (6:30) on A319 and the 19:25 back on B734 (which is allways 100% full). This time (monday-tuesday) I'll try the b.flex. As from next month I will switch to other hours to have more spa...

Does anyone knows where this one is standing at the moment?
Yesterday I returned from GVA at 21.05h with BruAir on a 737-400 (100% full) and saw the Easyjet A319 standing next to Terminal B.
But when you read this, the plane will allready have departed to Paris Orly.

They are just trying to get some market share and take some orders away from the 787. I think Boeing did the same thing with the 748I deal with LH. Boeing wanted to take sales away from the A380. I am sure that other Airlines would like the same deal that Emirates might be getting. I wonder how lon...

So, the A3640-600 had a technical stop for medical reasons. On 1040LT, it passed BUB @ its usual cruise level on UL608. But 45' later changed course to EBBR. I just got home from spotting at Brussels Airport. I was just leaving when the LH 340-600 arrived. It's such a beauty. Oh, how do I miss the ...

Flights to Brindisi

Did I miss something? The site of Brussels Airport mentions a new destination: Brindisi with 2 direct flights. But there is no link to some specification. Anyone an idea? Or is it just a mistake? Update: might be Jetairfly.com as they do charters on Saterday ans Wednesday (comming back via Lamezia T...

I fully agree with Krist0f. I know people who live near the airport for more then 30 years and they never complained. And in those days airplanes made a hell more noise than the new ones these days. Everyone moved towards the airport for its low prices on ground and taxes. They must have heard those...

2007 will be a historic year for BRU with all those new destinations and carriers. :D
Hope every route will survive.
