What are Brussels like giving transits (via GSY) or otherwise at the moment?

Fuji,

I've heard negative reports re Brussels ACC granting access to their Class B airspace but I've only been refused a couple of times. If you can make it to FL90 your chances are greatly increased. My last transit was September 15th, FL 70 KOK - MAK - LNO. We were climbed to FL90 just west of Brussels. This has been a pretty standard profile on previous transits. Where you headed?

Thank you Radar.

I hadnt been that way recently VFR. I had forgotten just how good Belgium info is, first class service with a routing around going to Germany today due to traffic (via Nik) and a fair bit of weather dodging as well to avoid the worst of the down poors and direct coming back.

Good on ya for a first class service.
