    Is taking the plane honestly worth it, when it’s just a two hour drive? 😅

      it absolutely is not when the Flight takes 3+ hours. Plus you need to check in, go through security etc. etc.

        I’d assume that a charter flight wouldn’t include layover in FRA. Random flight time calculator I found says a direct flight BRU→LUX might take 44 minutes.

        Doesn’t really make it much better though. In general, I think we could do without politicians attending every commemoration of everything and then immediately going elsewhere.

          Oh yeah you are right, but I also didn’t found any charter routes. But 44 Minutes sound reasonable.
