Taken 5 April 2007 from Dublin - DUB to Brussels (Bruxelles) (National/Zaventem) - BRU

Outbound flight:

The outbound flight was delayed by 45 minutes due to "operational reasons." It turned out that the cabin crew's shift had ended, and another crew had to be transferred from an arriving London flight. However they were very apologetic about the delay throughout the flight.

The flight itself was uneventful and very smooth; there was no turbulence at all. We arrived about 30 minutes late.

Inbound flight:

This flight was perfect! It was almost full, but the crew managed to board everyone and departed on time. Again, the flight itself was smooth and uneventful.

We landed 20 minutes early, and the ground staff had nothing prepared for us; this actually didn't help, as it then took about 15 minutes for them to find steps and bring them to the plane since there was no bridge-thingy ready for the us.

Still, both flights were good. The cabin crew were friendly and helpful. Overall the price was cheaper than what Ryanair were offering, and I didn't land at an airport miles outside Brussels!
