We do in the simulator.
Not in real life, obviously. OO-SNP and -SNQ are both painted in the Star Alliance livery, but they are the only two aircraft in the fleet to be fitted with Sharklets (which are also present on the generic A320 in IF).

How do you have so much time!? I’m studying my butt of this month 🫠

It might have to do with that fact that I don’t have to study.
I finished school last year (June 2024).
However, I am starting a job soon, so I’m trying to do as many flights as I possibly can now, because I won’t have much time for flying once I start working.
Also, my sleep schedule is non-existent, so might as well fly xD .
Good luck with your studies by the way!

Off to Kigali and Nairobi!
Kigali is the capital city of the Republic of Rwanda, or simply Rwanda . Also known as “The Land of a Thousand Hills”, Rwanda is a small country in East-Central Africa.
Nairobi is the capital city and largest city of the Republic of Kenya, or simply Kenya. Nairobi is currently the newest long-haul destination of Brussels Airlines, having been relaunched in the summer of 2024. They had previously flown there until 2015, when Lufthansa took over the destination in exchange for Accra.

I can’t know why they remove that the First Place

I’m not entirely sure either.
It is a little disappointing, since I now have to do all of my short-haul flights with the same callsign I started the first flight with, which takes away some realism.
I do hope they bring the option back at some point.

Off to Stockholm!
Stockholm is the capital city and most populous city in Sweden. Stockholm Arlanda is the third largest airport in the Nordic countries. It is also one of two airports near the city centre, the other being Stockholm Bromma. However, Bromma may not stay open for much longer, and it is possible that the airport will close in 2026. Although there are two other “Stockholm” airports, these are both 100km away from the actual city.

Off to Monrovia and Abidjan!
Monrovia is the capital city and largest city of the Republic of Liberia, or simply Liberia. Between 2013 and 2016, we saw the Western African Ebola Epidemic take place. Almost all airlines stopped flying to Liberia, as well as Guinea and Sierra Leone. However, Brussels Airlines never stopped flying to any of those destinations. This is why they were largely credited for playing a crucial role in stopping the epidemic.
Abidjan is the largest city and former capital city of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, or simply Côte d’Ivoire or Ivory Coast. Abidjan is the most populous French-speaking city in Africa.

Update:
I will likely not be flying any flights tomorrow, due to some personal things.
Starting next week (20/01), I will also have much less time in a day to do any flights. This means long-haul flights will likely be put aside for the time being.
As for short/medium-haul flights, I am not entirely sure to what extent I will be able to keep doing those. I may be able to do two short flights (one full route) per day, as opposed to four or more (two or more full routes) that I usually did. However, I cannot say this with much certainty yet.
Sundays will likely be where most of the flights are completed from now on, as well as holidays.
I am not in any way abandoning this challenge, it will just slow down dramatically compared to the last two weeks.
See you in the skies soon!

Off to Accra and Lomé!
Accra is the capital city and largest city of the Republic of Ghana, or simply Ghana . The word Accra is derived from the Akan word “Nkran” meaning “ants”, a reference to the numerous anthills seen in the countryside around Accra.
Lomé is the capital city and largest city of the Togolese Republic, or simply Togo. The name “Lomé” comes from Alotimé or simply Alomé, which in the Ewe language literally means “in the alo trees” or “within the alo trees”, to designate simply the forest of alo.

Small update:
I have gone ahead and added some screenshots of each flight to every route post currently in this thread. I probably won’t feature Brussels in any of these, as that would get a little repetitive, but who knows.
I plan on continuing this, adding a screenshot from each destination airport to the route posts. I will of course do this after I have completed the flights and get access to the replays.

Nice, I’m ready to enjoy those pictures, hopefully in a few months also with our new A320neo livery!

If it releases with the Brussels Airlines livery (which I really hope it will), I’ll probably fly that as soon as I possibly can.
Will certainly take some pictures then.

I hope this will not turn out like the Copa737max situation, our SN A320neo is highly needed! I also truly hope it will come, for now it’s the highest voted A320neo livery.
Also this aircraft will be the future for short and medium haul routes in the fleet irl, flying from all over the Europe and beyond in more than 60+ destinations (!) those are more destinations than some max liveries have that came out previous update.
