The very first Party Flight of the year has just landed in Brussels, bringing 180 Tomorrowland festivalgoers to Belgium. Over the coming two weeks, Brussels Airlines will welcome 24,734 passengers from 106 different countries across a total of 409 flights. More than 1,000 of them will board one of the airline’s legendary Party Flights, where the festival already starts at 30,000 feet.
Since joining forces in 2012, Brussels Airlines and Tomorrowland have built a unique partnership that brings together people, cultures and countries from across the globe.
This year’s travel figures also reflect that shared ambition. Spain is the largest source market, with more than 7,000 travelers flying with Brussels Airlines, followed by Italy, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Barcelona and Madrid are the busiest departure airports, ahead of Vienna.
A little piece of Tomorrowland in the air
Today, the very first Party Flight of the season landed at Brussels Airport from Ibiza with 180 festivalgoers on board of Amare, the specially designed Airbus A320neo created by Brussels Airlines and Tomorrowland. During every Party Flight, the aircraft’s cabin is transformed into a flying festival venue, featuring a live DJ set, an impressive sound system and special mood lighting.
“Every day, Brussels Airlines brings a little piece of Belgium in the air. Over the next two weeks, we’ll once again bring a little piece of Tomorrowland to the skies aboard our legendary Party Flights, marking already the 12th edition of this unique flight experience. Seeing our Belgian Icon Amare spread its wings again with festivalgoers and a live DJ on board, is something we remain incredibly proud of. It is the result of the teamwork and dedication of many colleagues across Brussels Airlines and our close collaboration with Tomorrowland.”
– Michel Moriaux, Head of Marketing Brussels Airlines
During the first Party Flight, British DJ and producer Carly Wilford performed the live DJ set in the air, giving passengers their first taste of Tomorrowland before they even set foot at the festival.
“After an incredible few week’s broadcasting from Ibiza, I thought the summer couldn’t get any better… and then Tomorrowland asked me to DJ on a party flight! I’ve played clubs and festivals across the world but DJing at 30,000 feet for a plane full of Tomorrowland People? That’s a first. What better way to kick off the biggest weekend of the summer than bringing the vibes from above the clouds.”
– Carly Wilford, DJ first Party Flight
Throughout the coming weeks, six other exclusive Party Flights departing from cities including Barcelona, Rome and Prague will transform regular flights into an unforgettable festival experience for more than 1,000 passengers. Every flight delivers the unmistakable Tomorrowland atmosphere high above the clouds.
Continuing to invest in the future of more sustainable travel
As part of Tomorrowland’s and Brussels Airlines’ continued commitment to more sustainable travel, Tomorrowland Green Fares remain the standard in every Global Journey flight package. Each fare addresses the passenger’s flight-related emissions through a 30% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) contribution, with the remaining 70% compensated through local high-quality climate projects, including in Belgium. In this way, passengers contribute to reducing the environmental impact of future flying.
For the Party Flights, Brussels Airlines and Tomorrowland jointly invest in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to cover the equivalent amount of jet fuel needed for each flight.
From DreamVille to the departure gate
The Brussels Airlines experience continues after the festival. Guests staying at DreamVille can once again check in their baggage directly at the dedicated Brussels Airlines baggage drop-off before travelling to Brussels Airport. A Brussels Airlines Service Desk at the campsite is available throughout the festival to assist travelers with flight-related questions and support.
Festivalgoers can also discover The Home of Amare, the iconic Ferris wheel overlooking the Tomorrowland grounds, offering panoramic views across the festival site.
