I have also used this route on two occasions [After the SN route
stopped at GLA] the flights were practicly empty. I have an office in
Zaventem the BRU route was great [Accross the road] but CRL. No, won't
use it again.
If you are to look at the PIK-CRL prices you'll find them very cheap.
Yield or passenger use is low. The prices are reflecting that.
