by Lufthansa Flyer | Dec 20, 2015 | 777, Featured, Industry News, Route Announcements, Swiss |
As SWISS begins to integrate their first 777s into the fleet in February, they’ve provided a detailed update covering the deployment of the aircraft on a variety of intra-European routes. With this latest update, LX has added Prague, Athens, and Venice to the 777s schedule.
These routes are used primarily to give LX crews ample opportunity to familiarize themselves with the aircraft before they begin flying their normal long haul routes.
Please keep in mind that this schedule is extremely fluid. The schedule is subject to change literally on a day to day basis due to delivery delays, crew training, etc. For example, LX’s previously schedule service between Zurich – Hamburg, and Zurich – Malaga on Saturdays between February 27 and March 26 is now CANCELLED.
Even though risks exist for booking these flights due to the chance that schedules can be changed, this is a great opportunity to experience SWISS’ brand new 777s at continental European prices!

by Lufthansa Flyer | Dec 19, 2015 | Air Canada, Brussels, Featured, Route Announcements, United |
BRUSSELS Airlines has announced that beginning with the Spring 2016 timetable, passengers will be able to enjoy their hospitality between Brussels and TORONTO!
Thanks to the addition of 2 A330 aircraft to the fleet next year, SN will offer service between BRU and YYZ 5 times a week.
Flight details have not yet been loaded into their booking engines, but I expect that to happen shortly.
In addition to the new route, SN is also planning to expand service between Brussels and Washington DC from 5 times a week to 6 times a week.
AND….
Due to the fact that JET Airways will no longer serve Toronto or Newark via Brussels, SN has filled in the void for BRU by entering codeshare agreements with United and Air Canada. United will add a second flight between Newark and Brussels, while Air Canada will be a code share partner on SN’s flights between Toronto and Brussels.
AND….
Expect a codeshare announcement between Brussels and Air India for service between Brussels and Mumbai.
AND….
With the addition of more A330s to the long haul fleet, expect new route announcements to destinations in Africa, including Gabon and Nigeria. There may be even a few more African surprises announced in the near future.
