Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Lodelinsart

Meeting Point at Brussels Zaventem Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so there is no need to search the terminal for your ride.

The Drive to Lodelinsart

The route covers 68 km (42 miles) and typically takes around 47 minutes. That is a comfortable ride after a flight, and it is a direct door-to-door alternative to a journey that would otherwise involve several connections. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late afternoon rush, when traffic around Brussels is heaviest. Because this route is booked less often than the big city transfers, it is arranged on request, and it is worth booking ahead so your vehicle is confirmed before you land.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Solo travellers, couples and small families usually fit a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Check the passenger limit against your luggage as well as your headcount. For larger parties there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. These suit family gatherings, business delegations, sports teams and tour groups who want to arrive together rather than split into several cars.

Lodelinsart and Where to Stay

Lodelinsart is a district of Charleroi in the Hainaut province of Wallonia. It is a residential area close to the city centre, and most visitors use it as a base for Charleroi and the surrounding region. I cannot name hotels in Lodelinsart itself with confidence, so here are established options in the nearest town, Charleroi:

• Mercure Charleroi Centre Gare, near the main railway station
• Ibis Charleroi Centre Gare, a practical option in the city centre

Both are a short drive from Lodelinsart, so your driver can take you straight to the hotel if you prefer.
