The ticket had been purchased by credit card from another man, Abderahman Benamor. Upon check-in in Brussels El Bakraoui registers with a Belgian ID. The day after, Khalid's name was registered on a Volotea flight which departed from Marco Polo airport in Venice at 6 am with destination Athens. The night between 23 and 24 overnight at the Courtyard by Marriott Venice Airport hotel in Venice.
