Quick Links A busy Brussels Airport Security and boarding The crew and the cabin In-flight service and landing Transit experience Summary Arriving 4 hours early for my flight at Brussels Airport on its busiest day was unnecessary. Security and boarding were efficient despite the warning of busyness, allowing time for rest and food. The Austrian Airlines flight to Vienna was enjoyable, featuring friendly service and overly sufficient legroom in economy.
Leaving Brussels Zaventem International Airport (BRU) on its busiest day of the year was not one of my best decisions. At least, that’s what I thought when I got off the bus and had to join the herd of people trying to make their way into the terminal building. On July 26, I flew economy class between Brussels Airport and Vienna International Airport on Austrian Airlines as part of my overall trip from Brussels to Cairo International Airport .
I have transited through Vienna before, although it was a few years ago now so I don’t quite remember it. My overall journey this time round was nearly 8 hours long, including a 2h45m connection at the carrier’s hub. A busy Brussels Airport Checking in for my flight was very easy, doing so online.
As expected, I inserted details about myself, including my passport number, etc., before being directed to choose a seat. I selected the emergency exit rows for both flights given that I was traveling alone and would appreciate the extra legroom given the timing of the flights.
