Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Oekene

The drive from Zaventem to Oekene

Oekene lies 123 km (77 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 21 m. The route heads west across Belgium, so most of the journey is on motorway before it ends on local roads in West Flanders. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer.

Traffic around the Brussels ring is the main variable. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours can add noticeable time, as can bad weather or roadworks. If you have a connecting appointment or a fixed check-in time, it is sensible to allow a comfortable margin on top of the typical driving time.

Which vehicle suits your group

Travellers in small parties can choose between a private taxi for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. The larger taxi is the better pick if you are four people, or three with a lot of luggage.

For bigger groups there are private minibuses in several sizes:

• 8 seats for 1-8 passengers, suited to families or small business teams
• 16 seats for 1-16 passengers
• 24 seats for 1-24 passengers
• 32 seats for 1-32 passengers
• 40 seats for 1-40 passengers
• 48 seats for 1-48 passengers, for large tour groups or event parties

On a trip of well over an hour, it helps to pick a vehicle with a little spare room for bags rather than one filled to the last seat.

About Oekene

Oekene is a small, quiet village in West Flanders, part of the city of Roeselare. The surroundings are typical Flemish countryside: flat farmland, local roads and a calm residential feel. It is a destination for visiting family, local business or a stay away from the larger cities, so a door-to-door transfer is often the simplest way to get there after a flight.
