Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Ichtegem

The drive from Brussels Airport to Ichtegem

Ichtegem lies 117 km (73 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the typical driving time is 1 h 20 m. The route leads west from the Brussels region into West Flanders, mostly on motorways before the final stretch on local roads. It is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, so a private transfer is easy to arrange even though it is not a standard run.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour around Brussels, or in heavy rain or fog, which can slow traffic on the western motorways. If you have a fixed appointment or an onward connection in Ichtegem, it is sensible to plan a small buffer on top of the usual 1 h 20 m.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller groups are well served by a private taxi. There are options for 1-3 passengers and for 1-4 passengers, so a family of four with luggage can travel together in one car. For larger parties, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. These suit wedding guests, company teams, sports clubs or extended families who want to arrive together instead of splitting into several cars.

• 1-4 passengers: private taxi
• 5-8 passengers: private minibus with 8 seats
• 9-48 passengers: private minibus with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, chosen by group size

When choosing, count your suitcases as well as your passengers, especially after a long-haul flight.

About Ichtegem

Ichtegem is a municipality in the Belgian province of West Flanders. It is a mainly rural and residential area, made up of the village of Ichtegem itself together with neighbouring villages such as Eernegem and Bekegem. Expect quiet roads, farmland and small village centres rather than big-city bustle, which makes a door-to-door private transfer especially practical after a flight.
