Brussels has unveiled a minor adjustment to their long-haul passenger cabins by adding an Economy Plus section. The Economy Plus seats are the same seats as the normal Economy class, however seat pitch and recline angle have been increased for improved comfort. Specifically, pitch has been increased by approximately 3-4 inches, and the recline angle of the seat has been increased from 8 degrees to 20 degrees. The Economy Plus section will take up the first 4 rows of the Economy cabin aboard their A330s serving North America and Africa.
To mark the introduction of this new seat plan, SN has randomly awarded 20,000 passengers traveling in July and August a complimentary upgrade from Economy to Economy Plus. Otherwise, the upgrade cost from ‘Y’ to ‘Y+’ will be a flat €120 per segment. For a limited time however, SN is offering this upgrade for only €99 each way. The upgrade is available from any Economy Class fare.
A couple of amenities come with Y+ as well. Passengers will be offered a glass of champagne before departure, an amenity kit, and a box of chocolates.

Starting this month, Brussels has radically expanded their in-flight dining options for flights operated within Europe.
In association with Belgian food company ‘Foodmaker’, Brussels will now offer passengers a wide variety of options that are quite unconventional as far as airline food is concerned.
For passengers flying under Flex&Fast fares, they’ll be treated to complimentary warm meals for flights over 2 hours long. For passengers flying on ‘Light&Relax’ fares, they will have a large menu of options to choose from, at reasonable prices.
The menu options include creative beverages, pastries, salads, wraps, and sandwiches…..all made with a focus on fresh and healthy ingredients sourced from local Belgian suppliers.
I’ve attached the menu in place between June and August (Click on the link to open the PDF):

Brussels Airlines has opened a newly refreshed Lounge in Terminal B in Brussels.
The new lounge, dubbed ‘The Suite’ offers passengers of Brussels and other Star Alliance member airlines twice as much space as the previous edition of the Terminal B Lounge, with room for up to 160 passengers. The lounge also draws inspiration from ‘The Loft’, the lounge that ‘SN’ opened in Terminal A back in 2014. Passengers can enjoy Quiet Rest Areas, a variety of Food Stations, Business Areas as well as a dedicated Reading Area. For more details, visit Brussels’ dedicated webpage for the new lounge.
The lounge will serve Non-Schengen departures to the United States, Africa, Russia, and the UK among others. It will be open from 5:00a to 10:15 daily, and is located at the end of the ‘Lounge Corridor’ in Terminal B.
Here is a look at the new lounge (All photos courtesy of Brussels Airlines):
