About Brussels Airlines
Brussels Airlines is the Belgian national airline and flies from Brussels Airport. What sets it apart inside the Lufthansa Group is its long-haul focus on sub-Saharan Africa, where it serves a number of West, Central and East African cities. It also flies to North America and runs a European network that feeds those long-haul flights. The carrier is a Star Alliance member. Long-haul aircraft have Business, Premium Economy and Economy cabins.
Brussels Airlines is searchable on IATA.co in the same way as the other group carriers. Use the booking portal for a manual search or the flights API for an automated one, and you will see live fares. Brussels Airlines fares appear in your search results whenever our flight suppliers offer them for your route and dates. Payment is deducted from your prepaid balance. For Africa itineraries in particular, check the baggage terms in the fare rules, as they vary by fare.

Booking Brussels Airlines fares as a travel agent
Travel agents book Brussels Airlines fares on IATA.co without their own IATA accreditation. Activate an agency account, top up a prepaid balance, then search live SN fares in the booking portal: the price, baggage and fare rules are shown with each offer before you confirm, and the amount is deducted from your balance. Brussels Airlines results appear whenever our flight suppliers return them for your route and dates, so what you can book follows live supplier content rather than a direct airline deal.
