Star Alliance carrier Turkish Airlines continues to offer great fares from Brussels to Asia in its excellent business class. Prices start at €1,385 to Hong Kong. Other destinations are Manila, Seoul, and Bangkok.
Worldwide travel restrictions are in place to slow the spread of Covid-19. We strongly recommend gathering detailed information about the travel and quarantine restrictions that apply to your desired origin and destination.
A good start is the International Air Transport Association (IATA) website. It provides current updates on a country’s immigration policies. Even better, the Covid-19 Travel Regulations Map is one of the most useful tools you can find.
There’s practically daily availability starting September, except during the Christmas vacation. There are no flights to Hong Kong on Tuesdays, however (and thus no flights back from Hong Kong on Wednesdays).
All destinations:
All flights include a layover in Istanbul. You will be allowed to bring up to 40 kg of luggage on any of these trips.
We expect further shakeups in the airline industry over the following months. Some services might be cancelled, aircraft changed or downgraded. The schedule we describe may very well change.
By the way, we also offer many other deals from Brussels:

Turkish Airlines Business Class
Turkish Airlines’ Business Class product receives a lot of praise, especially for their outstanding catering that features on-board chefs on long haul routes. Their seats are comfortable and fully reclineable to a lie flat position.
Main point of criticism is their 2-3-2 seating pattern aboard their Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, that denies direct aisle access to the middle seat. Their Airbus A330 family feature are 2-2-2 pattern, which solves this problem. These reviews describe Turkish Airlines’ business class as fantastic and highly underrated:
