Hello English readers
I post this Flight report because it's the first BRU-HAM in the database and also I have had the opportunity to visit the LOFT:
the new flagship lounge of Brussels Airlines at pier A which opened its doors on 23/10/14.
I took advantage of this trip to visit Hamburg and also the Airbus'plant of Findenwerker.

    Thanks for the extensive coverage of the new Brussels Airlines lounge. It seems pretty nice overall. Brussels Airlines seems like a paradox to be...it's part low-cost carrier, part full-service legacy carrier...it's confusing. Then again, it must be copying the business model of US carriers. B.O.B for short flights, but full service with flat beds in business on long-haul. Must be the wave of the future.

    Thank you for sharing this exclusive.

    The lounge looks inviting and the Belgian touches make it very distinctive. However, the efforts put into improving this lounge experience is a stark contrast to the low cost perception of the inflight product, particularly its short and medium haul ones. When you strive to be the best, you should do it all the way.
