Nice report, pleasant reading. Sorry England lost. Next time!

One has to love the Euro service on SN. I flew them as Sabena and lot's of food on a short flight. Don't even mention languages. Mixed with German to FRA it all sounded the same as one garbled announcement.

However, I will take Godiva over Neuhaus anytime, any place.

How is the new Schengen terminal at BRU? I have yet to see that. I hear it is nice but alot of walking.

As for Schengen, please, keep the UK (and Ireland) out of that dam/ thing. It is a complete loss to sovereignty and I could have had a heart attack when I learned that Greece had joined. Yeah, they could do better at patroling the borders, sea coasts but atleast you have some protection.

As for Air France, love them in the air, but on the ground they are a basketcase.

Why it is called Air Chance.
Nearly lost it in November non-revving on them. You have to love it(NOT) when they have 20 empty jetbridges at CDG and you are boarding by bus and stairs in the rain.
What are they thinking?

I was hoping to hear about Bahrain in the trip, but all good.

Oh, and tell Thalys, a great service, to maybe go all the way to Zaventem Airport, then that would be splendid. Going thru Midi, keep it.
