14/7/16

For the fifth year in a row, Brussels Airlines prepares to bring thousands of Tomorrowland visitors from around the globe to Belgium for the 12th edition of Tomorrowland.

Next week 180,000 music fans travel from every corner of the world to Belgium for a fairy tale experience at the music festival Tomorrowland in Boom. More than 10,000 of them fly on one of Brussels Airlines’ 108 Tomorrowland flights.

Under the name Global Journey, Brussels Airlines and Tomorrowland offer packages that include hotel stay, train, bus or a flight. Many of the foreign music fans chose a Discover Europe package, in which they can combine Tomorrowland with a visit to several European cities, including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Ibiza.

Like the previous years, Brussels Airlines brands one of its Airbus A330 with the Tomorrowland logo for the occasion. At the festival site, the airline welcomes thousands of visitors on its Cloudrider, a 55-meter tall Ferris wheel guaranteeing the best views over the festival premises and far beyond. Every Tomorrowland visitor is welcome to take a ride on the Cloud Rider for free.

Tomorrowland party flights

Brussels Airlines flies 10,372 Tomorrowland visitors to Belgium on 108 flights, departing from 68 airports. To get the party people in the right atmosphere right from the start of their journey, 17 airports organize a gate party in Tomorrowland style before the flight. 59 flights are transformed into party flights with music on board. On three flights, a Tomorrowland DJ plays a live set at 30,000 feet. The party flights can be followed live on www.brusselsairlines.com/TMLpartyflight or via #TMLpartyflight
