  • Brussels-Atlanta-Brussels on Delta

    Hello,
    i fly between the Belguim and The USA 3 times a year and here is a report about my flight to the Atlanta

    1.Departure in Brussels

    we arrived at the airport at 7.30 we left earlier because it was rush hour in Brussels the check in went very smoothly and well organized there where 3 lines 1 for Biz.Elite 1 for DL 141 Economy (FLight to JFK) and 1 for DL 125 Economy (ATL) at 7.50 we went to the ticketing desk cuz i was fliyng as an UMNR there i had to wait 4-ever because there was a defect in the computer finally at 8.15 we went to the BGS desk and at 8.40 we went thru passport control at this point we went shopping for 20mins at 9.00 we went thru security from this point i spotted

    Hewa Bora Airways: L1011-500 to Kinshasa
    SN Brussels Airlines: A330-300 to Nairobi,Mombasa,...
    (This is al what i remember)

    at 9.30 we went thru the US flight security after this i went B34 and they said we are not boarding yet so i went spotting again here i saw

    Delta: Boeing 767-300ER to Atlanta
    Continental: Boeing 767-400 to Newark

    at 9:40 we started to board in zones

                        indeed i even have some pics of it (but i was just to lazy to load them up)

                        (all on DL 124)

                        1/Dinner

                        2/ sunset above NY

                        3/ sunrise above ireland

                        4/ Breakfast


                        sorry for the bad resolution at the moment i took those i just got that digital camera and i did not know how i had to work with it then


                        short view of the flights

                        Brussels
                        not a very big airport but convenient the DL staff there always seem relaxed and happy. there is only one bad point about BRU the redecilus amount of security

                        Atlanta
                        well it is one of the bggest airports in the world but it is still good ecxept that the BRU flight leaves at a gate with no window the staff is very pleasant

                        DL 125
                        actually after this flight i tought "do i know DL like this"
                        in the begenning the staff wasent very friendly but as we got near to ATL they got friendlier and friendlier also the seat and catering was horrable

                        DL 124
                        on this flight i cannot complain all the minusses on the outward flight.made it up on the inboud flight
