Immediately after the November announcement that the successor airline to the merged SN Brussels and Virgin Express would come into operation March 25 with the 13-ball &#8220;b&#8221; logo, the company was flooded with disapproving emails and calls that indicates superstitious consumers in the US and Italy were not pleased with an aircraft with a logo with 13 balls because they thought it would bring them bad luck. As a result, Brussels Airlines is repainting all of its airships to add a 14<sup>th<\/sup> dot to the logo. Of course, this would create problems for flying to China, where \u201c14\u201d is considered bad-luck because one-four, in Mandarin, sounds like the phrase \u201cto want to die.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Think about this the next time you book a room on the 13<sup>th<\/sup> floor.
