This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

Your neighbour did not have a "vegetarian option" it was just a regular meal from another type. We receive in Brussels the right amount of meal for our business class passenger, but if a passenger book a ticket last minut we have to call the catering company so that they bring an extra meal wich is not always the same than the other one. Actually one type is served on the outbound flight from BRU and the other one on the inbound flight to BRU. Those meal are called "tapas meal", they are the one served on very short route, less than 1 hour (CDG, FRA, MUC, HAM, GVA, LHR). For a flight between 1h and 2h40 this is a cold meal, bigger, a little bit more elaborate with warm bread. Above 2h40 this is a hot meal. Abover 3h30 a hot meal and then later a light snack.

Ah ok, fair enough! I suppose I just wish they asked the pax who was actually awake which he preferred haha

@bricoman4933 2 ай бұрын

Actually if we have one tray wich is different, we always try to serve it at last. We try to give everyone the same meal wich is initially foreseen on the flight so that a passenger with a connecting flight for example GVA-BRU-HAM can enjoy two different meals on his journey. Or a passenger flying BRU-LHR on monday and LHR-BRU on tuesday can also have the possibility to have a different meal on both flight. But I do understand your point , I just try to give some background information as I know rules and procedure can sometimes bring frustration when a passenger doesn't understand the reason🙂

My super heavy global business travel ended in 2004. I don't recall ever flying SN Brussels, but I can confirm that every single flight I took or was booked on but cancelled at the last minute validated the full-length "Such A Bad Experience Never Again" for the SABENA brand. Brussels airline can only have benefited from its acquisition by Lufthansa, who I flew many times.

G'day from Australia. I'm only 90 seconds in and I'm thinking, hang on, Schengen zone entry? If it's possible , as I know there is no current information available on you tube, that is independent. But in a future video, could you please cover the hidden disability sunflower lanyard program. There are many airports and airlines that are part of the program, but it's not that covered and really just need to fluke it in the online paperwork to pay for your flight (as a special request) or stumble across it on the ground, as you check in. So it would be nice for it to be shown off please?
