Don't think any of the Priority Pass ones allow arrival, but if money is no object....... book a cheap flight out of BRU and then use a PP lounge. Could even do a cancellable flight and cancel it just before boarding time.

There is of course the Sheraton just outside the terminal. Assuming no visa issues, if money is no issue they would be happy to provide you with a room.

Airside just nothing but some benches...

Can't be done on their web site though. You need to send them a mail. EUR 130 weekdays for a double.

clever ideas thanks. I was lucky enough to get an early check in at 0830 with the novotel tour noire - all credit to them

I was last week at the SAS Lounge and had a good view on tarmac and freight area (plus Brussels Atomium).
However, I was refused to get into the Brussels Airlines lounge - they said its only for Brussels Airlines customers. Was on a LH flight holding a UA*G card.

It looks like the lounge dragon was misinformed. From the SN web page:

STAR Alliance Gold: Yes, when departing on Brussels Airlines or a Star Alliance member carrier the same day, irrespective of booking class + 1 guest.

Actually, it's the web page that's outdated. It's been a while now that the SN lounge is for SN customers only, others are redirected towards the adjacent Diamond lounge (or others).

I've been directed by the "reception" in the hallway to the SAS lounge even when I had a SN boarding pass. Didn't try to see if the SN Lounge staff themselves would try to redirect me.


And saying the "website is out of date" is a pretty poor excuse for an airline to use

Seriously, whats the problem with the dragons in BRU? Homebase lounge and they only want M&M members in their lounge?

I think it depends on the terminal.

In A, the SN lounge seems to be SN metal only. Anyone else gets routed to the SK lounge. (I'm LH*G flying BRS-SN-BRU-LH-XXX).

In B, the SN lounge is for people on SN metal, or with SEN status (e.g. LH*G, SN*G, OS*G). Everyone else gets routed down the corridor, in the direction of the former BD Diamond Club Lounge. (sniff...). I use the SN lounge in B (as LH*G flying XXX-LH-BRU-SN-BRS).

Hey all!
Planning an ORD-?-FCO(Rome)-?-ORD for november..

One option is BRU (as is IAD and MUC).. Of course MUC is a top contender being *G (hello SEN lounge) what are the *G options like Non-Sechengen options like @BRU? Anything better that MUC?

Nope. The only SN BRU lounge worth a mention is the sunrise lounge, which has nice views, but generally inferior in food to any LH SEN lounge in MUC.

Unless you don't have any choices, I wouldn't connect in BRU. The airport is more like a shopping-center with ridiculous long walkways. The Lounge (non-schengen) is pretty basic. On a possible BRU-FCO flight, you would also have access to the Schengen SAS Lounge, which has a good view to the tarmac.

I would choose the routing via MUC over IAD; because of the nice SEN Lounge and the immigration in MUC, which will save you some time in FCO.
