Helicro provides private cross-border transfers from Brussels and the whole of Belgium to Lille Airport (Lesquin), about 110 km and 80 to 95 minutes from Brussels, for a fixed 150€ for 1 to 3 passengers and 170€ for 4 to 8, per vehicle, tolls included. An English-speaking driver and no change of vehicle at the French border.
Lille-Lesquin is a practical alternative for travellers in Hainaut, Brussels and Walloon Brabant when a flight is cheaper or better timed from France. There is no direct public transport from Belgium to the terminal, which is why most Belgian passengers combine a train to Lille-Flandres with a taxi, or pre-book a private transfer straight to the door.
Helicro drives the full route in one vehicle, Belgian plates, Belgian invoice, and waits in French arrivals on the way back. Cross-border pickups also cover Lille city, Roubaix, Tourcoing and Eurostar connections at Lille-Europe.

Private transfer, train, shuttle bus or ride-hailing app?
For a solo traveller with hand luggage the train is the cheapest way to reach Lille. For two or more people, families with car seats, early departures or late arrivals, a fixed-price private transfer usually costs the same or less than separate tickets plus a taxi, and removes every connection.
