fischi

I frequently fly into BRU in the afternoon and out again the next morning - a lot of my SN routings have overnight transits. So I will typically book a hotel in town. I've noticed that the immigration officers at BRU are more careful with me and my status (USC, non-resident) than many other EC countries I visit. I recall once an officer initially refused me entry and told me to rather wait overnight in the airport - but relented when I showed him a pre-paid one night hotel booking and my onward ticket. I'm not sure why Belgium would be extra careful with US citizens, but I'm guessing there is a reason.
