SN Brussels? Let's go back to Sabena
26/01/12 | Forum post in reply to Tom0706

This question raises for me a different question to just the name - why is it that hard working tax payers are forced by crazy governments to subsidise loss making airlines ? Sabena should have gone bust many yrs ago but was kept going by the...

26/05/11 | Forum post in reply to FlightDoctor

Goldcardsaplenty, your price experience comparing BA to AirFrance/KLM is my experience. Let me first say before I'm accused of being a BA basher .... I have been a loyal BA flyer for over 20 yrs (when I joined BA Exec club there was only one...
