I always thought Brussels Airlines regarded themselves as a full service
carrier. They used to do codeshares with BA (when BA still flew from
regional airports up to about a year ago), and are a member of one of
the three big FF clubs.

The advertising I've seen positions them as a budget airline. They do
have a 'premium' fare class, which probably equates to full service.
On the Manchester-Brussels flight, FWIW, they were code sharing with
BMI and accepting Diamond Club cards.
