Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Frasnes-Lez-Gosselies

The drive from Brussels Airport

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Frasnes-Lez-Gosselies covers 45 km (28 miles) and typically takes around 41 minutes. That is a comfortable transfer length for most arrivals, whether you land after a short European hop or a long intercontinental flight. The journey leads you south-west from the airport area through the Brussels region and on into Wallonia. Traffic around Brussels can slow things down, particularly during the morning and late afternoon rush hours, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a tight onward plan. Poor weather can also add a few minutes.

Meeting point at the airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go there straight from baggage reclaim.

Choosing the right vehicle

The right vehicle depends mostly on how many people and how many bags are travelling. All transfers on this route are private, so you travel directly to your address without sharing the car with other passengers.

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small business groups with ordinary luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or friends travelling together with extra suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for tour groups, wedding parties, sports teams and company events, so everyone arrives together in one vehicle.

If your group sits close to a vehicle's limit and you carry bulky luggage, such as sports equipment or prams, choose the next size up for more space.

About Frasnes-Lez-Gosselies

Frasnes-Lez-Gosselies is a village in the Belgian province of Hainaut, in the French-speaking region of Wallonia. It lies between Brussels and Charleroi in a mostly rural landscape of fields and small communities. It is a quiet place, so it is useful to have the full street address ready when you book, as this helps your driver take you right to the door. Charleroi and its airport at Gosselies are nearby, which is also why this route is booked less often than the big city transfers but remains available on request.
