Brussels Airlines adds to growing list of European flights back at Dulles

With European nations continuing to relax travel restrictions, more trans-Atlantic routes from Dulles International Airport are resuming.

Brussels Airlines has resumed nonstop service from Dulles to Brussels this week, with four weekly flights — on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. It will operate Airbus A330-300 aircraft on the Dulles-to-Brussels route.

The carrier will resume nonstop service from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport this week.

“Reconnecting the capital of Europe with the U.S. after a period of 15 months is an important and symbolic milestone in the restart of our operations during the summer,” said Peter Gerber, CEO of Brussels Airlines.

United Airlines, the dominant carrier at Dulles, is bringing back some of its Europe routes, including new service to Athens starting in July and adding a second flight to Frankfurt.

The Transportation Security Administration screened about 2 million passengers at U.S. airports on June 11 and 2.1 million passengers on June 13, the first time more than 2 million daily passengers were screened since March 7, 2020.

TSA screenings at U.S. airports are now within 20% of pre-pandemic levels.

Below is a list of European routes now operating or coming soon at Dulles. Some destinations are being served by more than one airline.

Should you buy a house with cash?

High mortgage interest rates may have you exploring alternative ways of buying your home that don't require a loan. And while the competition for a new home may not be what it was in 2021, for the right home you may still need to work to get a leg up on the competition. If you have the means, an all-cash offer is a great way to fast-track a deal and avoid the additional costs that come with a mortgage. A seller is more likely to accept your offer, and the success of the deal isn't reliant on a lender's OK following an appraisal. You'll also own the home outright after the transaction with no mortgage to pay each month.
