Hand luggage only?
Unfortunately not but baggage should be checked through - not the end of the world if it doesn't arrive that evening
The piers at BRU are miles long so where the respective aircraft are parked might matter. If you arrive on a bussing stand they may have a transfer vehicle for you. Make sure the cabin crew know about you before you arrive.
Particularly if you're in business or Flex, you're the sort of passenger SN wants to attract, and keep, so they should go out of their way for you.
Thanks - just looked at a booklet Brussels airport have produced on the website about transferring and given I'm transferring non-Schengen to Schengen I don't hold out much hope
