Brussels Airlines customer review

(Belgium)

Fleet of A319 and A320 in this route. Fast check in and fast track, what fast track! Took longer that other pax! Good lounge and well services and staffed one. Boarding ok, flight itself lacks the extra mile, they have no time nor the wish to make your money worth it. Same shame on the return. Bags first out which was a surprise.

Flying on one ticket with my wife, but our seats were 10 rows apart. No way to fix it with ground staff at Tel Aviv airport.

Avoid Brussels Airlines at all costs if you are connecting through Brussels. Even though one of the runways is shut down for long term maintenance, the airline has not changed their schedule of flights. The end result is a guaranteed landing delay or sitting on the tarmac at the origin until a runway can open up. I missed two connections in three days because of this!

Brussels Airlines customer review

(Belgium)

I have flown Brussels Airlines many times and generally been happy with the service. However I will never use this airline again, because quite frankly they are a rip off. I booked a complete package online, not knowing baggage was not included. Contact Brussels Airlines today to find out that I had to pay 35 euro per bag, thats a total of 140 euro, if I had booked direct with Brussels Airlines the charge would be 60 euro. How can Brussels Airlines justify more than double the price for the baggage. Brussels Airlines on baggage are a total rip off unless your book direct with them. I know they will do nothing about it as Customer Service and Brussels Airlines don't go together.

Check in was fast. I was able to check in 2x 23kg cases, plus 1 x 12kg cabin bag and a personal bag for computer and other stuffs. The flight attendants were polite. The seat was comfortable (seat 7A).

Brussels Airlines customer review

(Norway)

We were 2 pax traveling Oslo to Luanda via Brussels. We did have some negative vibes after having read some reviews but the connection was good and price attractive. Turned out to be a wrong choice. It started out with an overbooked flight from Oslo and an advice that one of us would have to stay behind. Only after reminding the ground crew that Luanda is an not an easy destination to reach, that we had confirmed tickets and that we hold Star Alliance did we get on board. The flight from Brussels to Luanda was just not good. The cabin looks and feels fresh and clean, food is acceptable but there end the positive comments. The seats are nothing but horrible. In theory they may be ok but that's only on paper. You feel cramped with little legroom and the backrest has a hard area that sticks out and makes it difficult to lean properly back. The recline is ok but as long as you have someone behind you, reclining is not an option. The fact that my traytable was very loose of course did not help. In my 40 years of intercontinental travel, I've experienced worse seats but that was a long time ago.

(United Kingdom)

Early morning flight out from Manchester to Brussels delayed and we missed connecting flight to Gotenburg. Had to spend 7 hours in Brussels losing a day of planned activity. Return flight on Sunday evening cancelled as we would again miss connecting flights. Switched to Lufthansa with 3 hour delay. 15 Euros to spend in Brussels airport. Regular air traveller but will not use or recommend.

(Spain)

I flew outbound with Ryanair and this was the return leg which I assumed would be far superior. SN has a superior hardware product and better facilities. However the crew let the trip down. Efficient but not friendly. The purser seemed to spend a lot if time scanning passengers and was even individually telling people off for not obeying the seatbelt sign long after the turbulence had passed. With crew it is luck and maybe they were having a bad day but for me this one experience has affected my image of the carrier.

Flew out Baltic Air impressed by website, online food reservation, professional staff and smooth transition. Return via Brussels awful. Had booked online food because of timing but none materialised. Transition through Brussels dire-dropped at terminal A for terminal B departure signage ran out around the baggage hall-eventually found my way to departure terminal to find flight delayed, no info on how long and few seats available to wait. Cafe closed at 18.00!

(United Kingdom)

Second time in two weeks I have missed connecting flights due to "late incoming aircraft" both resulted in 4 hour trips becoming over 8hrs. This is bad - but even worse is the customer service: summary below. 1: no info given on arrival, had to find way to service desk through the disgraceful Brussels Zaventum airport (building work all over) 2. Given a €15 meal voucher which doesn't even buy a beef burger meal, drink and a coffee. I should have been in Marseille at 4.15 and will now arrive at 20.30. 3. Refused lounge access (I travel twice a month with Brussels Airlines) These are £300+ flights!
