BRUSSELS AIRLINES Wants You To Create A Tribute Livery

BRUSSELS AIRLINES Wants You To Create A Tribute Livery

BRUSSELS AIRLINES has announced a contest seeking someone to create a 5th tribute livery to compliment the other 4 in the fleet.

The contest revolves around Belgium’s identity and ‘Belgitude’ and is looking for someone to design a livery that captures the heart and spirit of Belgium and her people and translate it onto the side of an aircraft.

The contest is straight forward.   You’ll need to download their blank aircraft template, design your livery, and upload it for consideration.   A panel of 10 judges will review all entries and select 2 finalists.

The submissions of the 2 finalists will be posted on Brussels’ Facebook page and the submission with the most votes from the FB community will have their design applied to an aircraft.

The deadline to enter this contest is Midnight on August 31.   Winners will be selected in September.

The Grand Prize winner will have the opportunity to witness their design being applied to the aircraft, as well as being present at the unveiling of the aircraft to the public.

To enter, please follow this link to the Contest’s webpage.

LUFTHANSA Selling First Class Lounge Access Even If Not Flying in First.  BUT……

LUFTHANSA Selling First Class Lounge Access Even If Not Flying in First. BUT……

What has normally been ‘verboten’ has become a reality, at least for the time being.

Lufthansa is offering paid access to ‘SOME’ of the First Class Lounges if you meet certain criteria.   This criteria requires that you be a Miles & More ‘Senator’ and be booked on a intercontinental flight in Business or Premium Economy Class.

However, before you get excited about walking into the hallowed grounds of the First Class Terminal in Frankfurt, and all the joys that one derives from being treated like an uber VIP, not every lounge is part of this promotion.

Qualifying passengers can access the First Class Lounge in Concourse ‘B’ in Frankfurt, or the First Class Lounge in Munich.    The First Class Terminal, and the lounge in Concourse ‘A’ in Frankfurt are not accessible with this promotion.

Restrictions not withstanding, it’s still a great opportunity to experience Lufthansa’s First Class services on ground when normally you would not be eligible to do so.

The promotion is in place until October 29, 2017 and pricing is as follows:

Senator flying in Premium Economy Class:  €299, plus €199 per guest (including children)

Senator flying Business Class: €249, plus €149 per guest (including children).

You’ll need to show your boarding pass when you arrive at the lounge, and pay the Lounge receptionist upon entry.

Ducks are included with your purchase! 🙂
