    No jabs needed and the flight is so short that flight socks are not required either unless she has a history of DVT

    The flight to Brussels is so short you don't even have time for a meal. Tell her to get a window seat and make the most of the view from the plane

    Don't really need anything except for a window seat. Made sure my OH got a window seat when he first went on a plane and he absolutely loved it.

    Also, dont forget the camera and plenty of film. If she hasn't got a camera superdrug or tescos do those 'one use only' ones fairly cheaply, she will want to remember this special day and Brussels is full of lovely old buildings. Tell her to have a great time from me

    Make sure she brings you back a box or two of 'Leonidas' chocolates, the best!!! They have shops all round Brussels, pick the box size and tell them or point out the chocolates you want.
