BMI -> BRU

So I flew out of BRS on the early BRU flight- first time I have used BRS in quite a while.(Last time was before the new walkway with additional gates was open)

Firstly, it was absolutely rammed in the terminal- no seats anywhere, falling over people to get from A-B and the queue for security went right down the stairs and back to the Aer Lingus checkin desks. Not often in the past was it that busy.

Next thing is, the flight to BRU seemed completely full. First time I have ever seen that and I used to do Brussels every single week. My ticket was £530 (booked last week), which is significantly more than I used to pay, but I think I must have gotten the last seat in Economy. I wonder if the Avro will return to the Bristol route any time soon?

I am not a fan of the Embraer 145's- far too small, so hope the load factors get Brussels Airlines to get something a bit more roomy back down to Lulsgate and BMI put the Embraer on BRS- FRA
