Frequently Asked Questions
Are Brussels Airlines flights to Conakry covered both directions?
Yes. Brussels Airlines (SN) is a Belgian EU carrier — covered both ways. BRU-CKY operates 4-5x weekly. CRITICAL: Belgium has the EU's shortest standard limitation period: 12 months from the flight date. File your claim within 4-6 weeks of the delay.
How much for a Conakry delay?
€600 per passenger long-haul. Brussels → Conakry = ~4,650 km. Paris → Conakry = ~4,500 km. Both well over the 3,500 km long-haul threshold. Family of four: €2,400. Reduced by 50% if rerouted within 4 hours of original arrival.
Why is Belgium's 1-year deadline so important?
Belgium's general civil limitation for flight compensation claims is 1 year, the shortest in the EU. If you fly Brussels Airlines and don't file within 12 months of the flight, your claim becomes time-barred. Compare with France 5 years, UK 6 years, Germany 3 years, Netherlands 2 years.
What about Royal Air Maroc via Casablanca?
RAM is non-EU (Moroccan). Covered only on EU/UK departures. Brussels → Casablanca → Conakry on RAM single ticket = covered (EU departure). Conakry → Casablanca → Brussels on RAM = NOT covered (non-EU origin, non-EU carrier). Choose Brussels Airlines or Air France direct for both-way protection.
How to file from Belgium?
File at brusselsairlines.com citing EU Regulation 261/2004 within weeks of the delay. If rejected, escalate IMMEDIATELY to DGT (Direction Générale Transport) Belgium or the Ombuds for Aviation Passengers — Belgium's NEB. Don't sit on your claim — 1-year limitation is unforgiving.
