Your flight is landing at South Charleroi, but you are unsure of how to get to the city from there? Check out the essential info we have compiled on shuttles.
If you are looking to get to the city center on budget, it’s a way to go. You will find a bus stop right outside the Terminal building. There are three providers of shuttle services:
You will easily recognize the coaches by the logos and their companies' names. As the distance from Brussels is about 60 kilometers (38 miles), your trip will be about an hour long. Your last stop will be Brussels Midi Station / South Railway Station / Gare du Midi Zuidstation. From there, you can either take the metro, a tram, a train, or a taxi to your final destination.
Departures are approximately every hour during the day. Be sure to check the timetables, as they are updated seasonally, in spring and autumn. You will find that shuttle schedules are adapted to flight schedules.
Be prepared for waiting and queueing, though. These coaches fill up quickly.
NOTE: On some of these shuttles your baggage allowance is limited. Take this into consideration when choosing your preferred mode of transport.
You will be paying about 16€ to get to Brussels Train Station. Kids under 4 travel for free. Where can I book my tickets?
It would be a good idea to buy your tickets in advance, as tickets purchased onboard the shuttle are more expensive.
NOTE: The drivers only sell one-way fares, subject to availability. Your fare will be valid for the entire day (no specific time).
You will definitely be saving money when taking a bus, however, think about whether it’s worth it. Although the price is a major advantage, there are many disadvantages to shuttle transportation:
So, how to travel affordable, with all the benefits? Your best bet is private transportation. Book your airport transfer in advance, and enjoy all the perks.
How wonderful it will be when you walk out into the arrivals hall of the airport and see the driver waiting for you. He will greet you and escort you straight to your car. A nice, clean, comfortable, spacious vehicle. A ride is tailored solely to your needs. The service you’re getting is door-to-door, and you will have a relaxed and worry-free journey.
With a private transportation, you will really know your money’s worth. And that is ultimately what we all aim for.
