Review: RwandAir A330 Business Class Brussels To London

Thanks Lucky, this means we’re one step closer to Norwegian Premium Economy review!
One thing occured to me - Have you thought about getting a mirrorless so all those cloud and sunset photos can be more picturesque? Not they’re bad, but as you can see people all love your friend’s China Airlines A350 review for all those beautiful shots…

Nice review! It certainly looks better than what a EuroBusiness flight would have been.

I've flown in and out of Gatwick a few times, but it's always to/from the terminal which doesn't have the cool bridge (north or south I can't recall). It does look cool, but I don't what it links, is it a satellite terminal with the main building? I'm assuming it's for use by arriving and departing passengers, and not just staff?

interesting bridge @ LGW

The bridge links to a satellite terminal - gates with numbers in the 30s if I remember correctly. My easyJet flights often depart from there. It’s a bit of a walk (and a long escalator) but the bridge is quite cool.

There’s also a small café over there (a Pret A Manger) which is always pretty deserted even when the rest of the terminal is packed.

Yeah, as @Asper84 said, that bridge is nice looking but a pain to walk across. It's a long hike from the terminal to the satellite pier that bridge connects to. Although super-long walks to gates are not unusual in the big London airports (I'm looking at you LHR T-2!).

Selling tickets from BRU to GTW on this flight would note make much sense. Many passengers prefer taking the Eurostar high speed train between Brussels and London in less than 2 hours. It offers frequent services (approx. hourly) and the convenience of departing and arriving in the city (without long waits at the airport) makes it very attractive (that said tickets can be very expensive).

Most passengers flying on SN’s or BA’s BRU-LHR flights are connecting on other flights.

Great review!

Already looking forward to the next flight review. That is probably one of very few Premium Economy reviews Lucky will ever write. 🙂

Beautiful view of Brussels.

Brussels to London is 20 minutes flying + 20 minutes queuing to land in London. You're lucky you got a beverage.

The airbridge links Gatwick's North Terminal main building and its satellite building (Gate No. 101-113). It is a REALLY long walk (especially if you arrive on train, which brings you to the South Terminal first and you will need a ride on a shuttle/people mover). It has both arrival and departure on the same level of the bridge so you can only see one side of the apron directly. The gates are usually used by easyjet and ... yes, Emirates A380 which always parks at gate 110 (this should be the only gate with jetbridges for A380).

You can never have too many macadamia nuts!

Is RwandAir part of any alliance or have partnerships with any other airlines? I'm flying them in J next month and wondering where I can credit miles to.
