  Great to see the route returning; Antwerp is an often overlooked destination (both business and leisure). The downside of Luxair will be not arriving into the rail station, which has to be one of the most impressive I’ve seen, both for the facade and the 12 platforms stacked vertically on three levels!

  Does ANR have a C lounge?

  Great to see a Luxembourg connection in two of today’s three emails – that’s got to be a first! (If you count Finnair’s sparkling wine really being Luxembourgish, that is.)

  For anyone who ends up travelling regularly on the LCY-Antwerp flight (or LCY-LUX), Luxair introduced a very simple ‘loyalty scheme’ last year, though it currently only runs to 31/3/23. ‘Luxair 4+1’ gives you a ‘free flight’ voucher if you register and fly four times by then (a return booking only counts once). In reality it’s a voucher to the value of the cheapest of those flights. The terms & conditions don’t state whether that’s on the total cost or excludes taxes/fees, nor whether you can earn the voucher more than once. But I like the simplicity – and that if your first voucher booking is less than the voucher value you can still use the balance towards another flight.

  I don’t think so. ANR is one of those charming small airports from yesteryear

    I should have DuckDuckGoed it, indeed it does, so I guess a better question is does LG pay for the lounge? 😀

  @Rob, a typo in the Ryanair section, which could have been even worse….! 😉

  “165 million anual passengers”

  How much extra are Ryanair charging people with a hidden disability?

    Nothing. Strange question. Weird, in fact.

      Obviously a joke as they have a reputation for charging for everything. I seem to recall (could be wrong, after all myths spread online) they tried to charge for wheelchair assistance at one point but they found it was illegal

        I think it was a passenger who claimed his fare back because he couldn’t get wheelchair assistance at Stansted. Ryanair argued (and lost) it was the airport’s responsibility

      Your irony meter is faulty.

    Er…they lost a court case many years ago, trying to do just that….so the answer is no, Ryanair won’t be charging

  “Sunflower wearers will be met with kindness, patience and understanding by the Ryanair team from check-in to the end of their flight”

  I’d love to think this might be true … but it’s hard to imagine it will actually happen in the real Ryanair world !

    We have flown Ryanair over 100 times. At least 10 times with my (now departed) disabled dad.
    All the airport staff at EDI, NCL, GLA and PIK and every Ryanair crew have always been courteous,patient and helpfull.

      I personally think the basic Ryanair flying experience is extremely good. Bumped into a sort-of-mate today – he’s about 75 but very active – the kind of guy who is proud he won’t eat foreign muck which includes curries and garlic! – he goes on holiday a couple of times a year to Portugal and Spain and loves it, but won’t eat any of their foreign muck 😉

      Anyway, we were talking about Ryanair because that would be really convenient for him given where we live and the nearest airport – but he wasn’t having any of it, vowing he will never fly Ryanair in his life (and proud of it) – not that he ever flew Ryanair and had a bad experience etc. All based on hearsay or perhaps (to be charitable) a few real stories from 15 years ago about bad check-in experience and getting charged penalties for no boarding pass, overweight luggage etc.

      Anyway – we personally fly Ryanair for the great convenience and great prices, the new fleet & best-in-class efficiency as regards on-time arrivals doesn’t really figure but that’s true as well. We’ve never really had any sort of negative experience apart from one significant delay 10 years ago (about 3hrs) but hardly going to be unusual.
