Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Maissin

The drive from Brussels Airport to Maissin

Maissin lies 128 km (80 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey normally takes about 1 h 23 m. The route leaves the Brussels area and heads south-east towards the Ardennes, so the last stretch runs through quieter, hillier country than the motorway section. Because this is a less frequently booked route, it is arranged on request like any other transfer, and the driver plans the trip specifically for your arrival.

Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or evening rush around Brussels, or in winter, when rain, fog or snow can slow the Ardennes roads. If you have a fixed appointment or a check-in time in Maissin, add a comfortable buffer to the standard driving time.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, small families and solo travellers, a private taxi is the simplest choice. There are taxis for 1-3 passengers and for 1-4 passengers, so pick the larger one if you carry a lot of luggage or a child seat.

Larger parties can book a private minibus:

• 8 seats for groups of up to 8 passengers
• 16 seats for up to 16 passengers
• 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats for bigger groups such as wedding parties, clubs or company outings

Everyone travels together in one vehicle, which avoids splitting up after a long flight.

About Maissin
