Doing business the
European way
Our very own Society and Special
Events photographer Derek Naylor
recently joined Brussels Airlines on
a trip to Belgium’s capital city.
Brussels Airlines has recently made their
twice daily flights to the European
capital more attractive to business and
leisure travelers by moving the
departure time from 8.30am to
10.40am. With a check-in time of
9.50am at the ever efficient Bristol
Airport, an 8am start from Cardiff
central station or 90 minute drive across
the bridge is a lot more achievable than
a bleary eyed 7.30am check in.
There’s more online!
