FLIGHT DETAILS
Friday, February 3 is the anniversary of the signing of the 1958 treaty that led to the Benelux Union, an economic and political alliance between Belgium 
, The Netherlands 
, and Luxembourg 
. The Benelux treaty was highly influential in the history of European politics in the latter half of the 20th Century and is seen as a predecessor to the EU. To mark the occasion, this week’s Friday Fly-In will see us visit all three countries from the Benelux Union, starting at Amsterdam then proceeding to The Hague, Delft, Rotterdam, Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Brussels, and finally a full-stop landing at Luxembourg. En route, we will also pass several famous landmarks including the Windmills at Kinderdijk and the Spa-Francorchamps F1 circuit.
