Oh dear, bad netiqutte. Following myself up.
Just plugged some itineraries in to see how the new timetable to BRU shapes up for travel into Germany, Swiss, Austria and long-haul.
Not brilliant, so far. The connections outbound to MUC, FRA, VIE, ZRH, INN are underwhelming at BRU. There's often a 2-3 hour layover in BRU before the next onward leg. Slightly more concerning is that to get to Asia bound flights out of FRA/MUC (if you were so minded), it's a tight schedule if you take the 12:05 ex-BRS, because there's a couple of hours layover in BRU, meaning you don't get to FRA/MUC until gone 19:30.
