Brussels Airlines set for take off

Brussels Airlines will take to the skies this Sunday, completing the merger of Virgin Express and SN Brussels Airlines. The new carrier is promising to combine the business class services of SN Brussels with the low-cost operations of Virgin Express, as it launches flights to more than 50 European destinations.

UK airports will see see a fair proportion of the flights as routes to Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Gatwick, Heathrow and Newcastle feature on the network map of Brussels Airlines.
There will be two standards of service available. The top service, "b.flex" has been developed for business travellers and will focus on offering swift progress through airports and separate fast-track security control at busier times of the day.
For regular travellers, "b.light" is the low fare offer. One-way tickets in this class start at €49.99 (£34), including taxes.
The airline will also offer links to destinations further afield with flights to the US and Canada, the Middle East and Africa. Brussels Airlines announced earlier this month that it will begin the only direct service between Burundi and Europe.
