I also believe the People Express service to Brussels wasn't begun until 1986.

And BTW, in 1984 the one way Premium Class fare for the PE 747 service between Newark and Gatwick was $439.00.
Correct.

For a short time, it was Brussels - Oakland but that was moved to San Francisco. One BRU-SFO flight stopped for refueling in Glasgow, MT with customs clearance in San Francisco.
