Tips for Flying Brussels Airlines to Africa

1
Best European Airline for Central Africa
Brussels Airlines has one of the strongest European networks for Central African destinations including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Burundi and Cameroon. The airline has served these routes since the 1950s with deep expertise and consistent schedules. For any Central African destination, SN via Brussels is almost always the most direct and reliable option from the UK.
2
Brussels Airport — Efficient and Well-Connected
Brussels Airport is a mid-sized, well-organised and efficient hub airport. Brussels Airlines Africa connection times are typically 1 to 2 hours. The airport has good dining and shopping facilities and is consistently rated as one of the smoother European airport transit experiences.
3
Miles and More — Lufthansa Group Benefits
Brussels Airlines participates in Lufthansa's Miles and More loyalty programme, one of Europe's largest frequent flyer programmes. As a Star Alliance member, miles earned on Brussels Airlines can be redeemed on Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Turkish Airlines and all other Star Alliance partner carriers.
4
Unmatched African Route Coverage
Brussels Airlines serves more African destinations than almost any other European carrier. For less common African destinations such as Bujumbura, Kinshasa, Brazzaville, Libreville or Cotonou, Brussels Airlines via Brussels is frequently the most practical and well-connected option available from the UK.
5
Lufthansa Group Connections
As a Lufthansa Group member, Brussels Airlines connections can be combined with Lufthansa (via Frankfurt or Munich), Swiss (via Zurich) or Austrian Airlines (via Vienna) for additional routing options to Africa. Dream Fare can find the best Lufthansa Group combination for your specific African destination.
6
Experienced Africa Operations Since the 1950s
Brussels Airlines has been flying to Africa since the 1950s, making it one of the longest-established European carriers on the continent. This heritage means the airline has exceptional route knowledge, experienced crew and a deep understanding of the logistics of African travel that newer carriers cannot match.
