Helicro blog: airport, festival and day-trip guides for Belgium
Practical guides written by the driver who does these routes every week: how to get to and from Brussels and Charleroi airports, what things really cost, and how to plan festival and race weekends.
The shuttle bus is cheap for one person. For two or more, or with luggage and an early flight, the numbers change. Here is the full comparison for 2026.
Belgian strike days ground flights at Zaventem and Charleroi and stop the trains at the same time. A practical plan for travellers, including what happens to a pre-booked transfer.
Brussels South Charleroi Airport is 60 km from the capital with no train station. Here is what each option really costs and takes, from the 17€ Flibco bus to a 25€ shared shuttle and a fixed-price private minivan.
We were extremely happy with the service! Gerasimos was professional, reliable and punctual, and went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly for our family. We really appreciated his care and dedication to providing the best possible service. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable transfer in Brussels. Thank you, Gerasimos!
