Europe - Economy fares for business travellers

Next to a dedicated Business Class, called "b.business", Brussels Airlines offers an Economy Class on its European network that's designed to give business travellers all the flexibility they need, but at economy fares. "b.flex economy+" is a fully flexible fare, which includes flight changes, refunds and fast-lane access - ideal for passengers who want to save time and need comfort and flexibility but at economy prices. The airline also offers a "b.light economy" leisure fare, starting at €99 return all-in.

The Africa specialist

Brussels Airlines operates 62 weekly scheduled flights to Africa weekly, connecting 20 business and leisure destinations to and via Brussels, as well as offering a further 9 destinations via Frankfurt with partner Lufthansa. With the recent start of the intra-African operations of the partner airline Korongo Airlines out of its hub Lubumbashi, Brussels Airlines confirms its status of key player connecting Africa to the world.
