BRUSSELS Airlines Introduces NEW ROUTES For 2015

BRUSSELS Airlines Introduces NEW ROUTES For 2015

Brussels Airlines has added 6 new destinations to their summer timetable that will extend their reach within Europe and add another destination to Russia.

Nearly each of the new destinations is what I would consider a ‘Niche’ destination in that some of the new cities that have been added are quite small, very quaint and offer a lot of charisma for visitors to appreciate.

The new destinations for Europe are Dubrovnik, Lourdes, Calvi, Olbia and Bullund.   For Russia, St. Petersburg has been added.  The new routes should be  available for booking soon on BrusselsAirlines.com with fares starting as low as €69 for a round trip ticket.

 

The timing of the routes is as follows (departure from / return to Brussels (BRU)) :

 

Calvi (Corsica):  Will operate 1x/week between May 30 and September 26, 2015.

Dubrovnik (Croatia):  Will operate 2x/week between April 25 and October 3, 2015.

Olbia (Sardinia):  Will operate 1x/week between May 27 and September 19, 2015.

Billund (Denmark):  Will operate 2x/day beginning March 29, 2015.

Lourdes (France): Will operate 2x/week between May 11 and September 25, 2015.

St. Petersburg (Russia):  Will operate 3x/week between March 30 and October 23, 2015.
