In the coming summer season, from March 27, Brussels Airlines will offer 85 destinations, with a focus on leisure. Newcomers to the airline's summer portfolio compared to last year are Arecife (Lanzarote), Chania (Crete), Hurghada (Egypt), Mytilene (Lesbos), Samos, Marrakesh (Morocco), Rabat (Morocco) and Munich. After a winter still hard hit by the global pandemic, Brussels Airlines predicts a very busy summer season.
“The booking figures clearly show a great willingness to travel. Compared to the summer of 2021, we also see that travelers are booking longer in advance, especially for the school holiday periods. Spain, Portugal, Italy and the Greek islands are expected to be the most popular destinations this summer season. That is why we are happy to add the islands of Lesbos and Samos in Greece to our network, but Lanzarote and Crete will also be an added value in our holiday portfolio.”
