Rebooking options
Is your flight cancelled, have you been rebooked on an alternative flight that doesn't fit into your plans or would you rather fly on other dates? Know that many of our fares can be rebooked so that you can travel in all ease and comfort.
My flight has been cancelled, what should I do?
If your flight had to be cancelled at short notice, we will inform you via e-mail. Brussels Airlines will proactively rebook you free of charge on an alternative flight to the same destination and in the same travel class. In some cases, we may not be able to rebook you proactively on an alternative flight. If this is the case, you can select an alternative yourself. This is also possible if an alternative booked automatically by Brussels Airlines does not suit your plans. Using the Brussels Airlines Chat Assistant, you can check if you have already been rebooked automatically or select an alternative yourself and rebook free of charge.

If your flight has been cancelled within two days before departure and an alternative is not possible on the same day, Brussels Airlines will provide you with overnight accommodation or pay a share of the costs.
If we are not able to proactively rebook your flight or your alternative flight does not fit into your plans, you can choose an alternative flight yourself. Using the Brussels Airlines Chat Assistant, you can check if you have already been rebooked automatically or select an alternative yourself and rebook free of charge.

Good to know
The severe and long-lasting impact of the Covid-19 pandemic weighs heavily on the entire travel industry. Together we are going through a very difficult time, which involves exceptional circumstances and exceptional solutions. One of these exceptions is that airlines are allowed by law to exchange the value of a flight ticket in a voucher instead of a reimbursement in cash. Thanks to this system, passengers are certain not to lose their money and retain the right to rebook their flight at a later stage.
If your flight was affected by the coronavirus and you requested a FlightVoucher, this doesn't deny you any right to a refund of your ticket. If you have not been able or you do not wish to redeem your FlightVoucher, you are free to request a refund of your ticket.
In case you have booked directly at Brussels Airlines, you can request your refund here. If you have booked via a travel agency, you have to contact your agent for your rebooking or for your refund. In case you do not receive a response in a timely manner or it seems necessary for other reasons, please contact us for further processing.
