This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that’s the way I like it!

First🎉
Even though still in hospital, the Leffe Blond really made me want to have a sip…I suppose that has to be a good sign? 🫣
G'day from Australia.
I'm only 90 seconds in and I'm thinking, hang on, Schengen zone entry?
If it's possible , as I know there is no current information available on you tube, that is independent. But in a future video, could you please cover the hidden disability sunflower lanyard program.
There are many airports and airlines that are part of the program, but it's not that covered and really just need to fluke it in the online paperwork to pay for your flight (as a special request) or stumble across it on the ground, as you check in. So it would be nice for it to be shown off please?
They should have taken "la" out of that salad.
European biz class is such a ripoff. Good review Kevin.
Sorry Kevin but the distance between Brussels and Antwerp airport is 94 miles not 20 miles.😉
Your late night meal reminds me of what I call, "stuff everything into the bread roll, lettuce, feta and everything" just so you can have some sort of thrill. However fleeting it may be for a 1 hour "hop". Nice video Sir!
Thank You ✈️
Thanks for the info + video!
I have taken the same flight earlier. I remember that the engine was way too noisy. Did you feel the same?
Great job as always!
Living in BRU, please do note total population is +/- 1,2M (not 2,1M), I presume you made a typing error 😎
They have an extensive specialty coffee menu and onboard chef on long haul flights.
Cheers Kevin 😊😊😊😊
the 3 guys after you deplane looks like spy though!
Great review! I might have cracked the majority of the puzzle; From ICN to (blank) on Asiana in Business
European flight biz seats are turrble! At least on AAL, DAL, or UAL you get more space on a domestic biz class seat.
You must have read my mind FFT; I need to get to Accra from the continent sometime this year. Cheers and great video.
The jeans and blazer guy departing in front of you could be a spy? 🫣😂
I’m a 13 year old frequent flyer with SN and I agree so much with those seets. But I like some parts of brussels airlines like their lexus lounge in brussels A gates or aswell as the lovely crew even if i’m flying completly alone. Though i am looking so forward to flying their brand new A320NEO
The more I see these videos the more I "wish" I could be like Kevin – but I lack the guts – literally (I suffer from IBS), stamina (CFS) and anxiety so am glad seeing the world through a guide dog's eyes kind of thing 🙂 The very thought of having to go back to my usual job of listening to complaining people wanting to be supported without doing anything or whinging about reduction in their pension because they have half a million dollar just make the shrink!
Amazing video
How did you get the idea that Geneva has 644‘000 inhabitants? Zurich, as the largest city in Switzerland, has only around 450‘000 😂 Geneva has about 200‘000!
When can we expect the Best of 2023 video Kevin?. Good job as always
I gather that modern day spies tend to blend-in more effectively with the crowd so harder to spot 😁
My super heavy global business travel ended in 2004. I don't recall ever flying SN Brussels, but I can confirm that every single flight I took or was booked on but cancelled at the last minute validated the full-length "Such A Bad Experience Never Again" for the SABENA brand. Brussels airline can only have benefited from its acquisition by Lufthansa, who I flew many times.
The old buses here in Saigon have even better seats. 😂.
Hello Kevin! Any chances to try Zipair? I have find only one good videos with honest reference about them, but I would love to see your point of view, LCC Zipair.
landing on 07R is very rare ,honest review
Fun fact that Geneva airport is partly in France, partly in Switzerland.
I used the brussels bag for wraping paper once.
I am spotting in brussels. And i never saw plane landing at 07.
