Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Meilegem

The drive from Brussels Airport to Meilegem

The route covers 66 km (41 miles) and typically takes around 51 minutes. Meilegem is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other. The journey leaves the Brussels area and continues west into East Flanders, so the busiest stretch is usually near the capital. If you land during the morning or late-afternoon rush hour, or in poor weather, allow some extra time, especially when you have a train, an appointment or an event waiting at the other end.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller parties are best served by a private taxi: one option is for 1-3 passengers and another for 1-4 passengers, which is useful if you are travelling with a little more luggage. Larger groups can book a private minibus. Options are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so a family gathering, a wedding party or a company group can travel together in one vehicle rather than splitting up. Choose the size according to both the number of people and the amount of luggage you are bringing.

Meilegem as a destination

Meilegem is a small village in the municipality of Zwalm, in East Flanders. The surroundings are rural and gently hilly, part of the Flemish Ardennes region, which makes it a quiet base compared with the larger cities nearby. Streets here are typically narrow and residential, so it helps to have the exact street address or house number ready when you book, so your driver can take you right to the door.
