Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Oignies-En-Thiérache

The Drive from Brussels Airport

The journey from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Oignies-En-Thiérache covers 128 km (80 miles) and typically takes 1 h 40 m. Most of the route runs south on motorways before the final stretch continues on smaller regional roads into the countryside. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush around Brussels, or in poor winter weather, when the rural roads at the end of the trip can be slower than expected. Because the route is a less frequently booked one, we arrange it on request, so it is best to book ahead rather than at the last minute.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match your group size and the amount of luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) or Private Taxi (1-4 passengers): suited to solo travellers, couples, and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 Seats, 24 Seats and 32 Seats: practical for wedding parties, reunions, and sports or club groups.
• Private Minibus 40 Seats and 48 Seats: designed for large groups that want to travel together in a single vehicle.

With a 1 h 40 m drive, a little extra legroom and luggage space makes a real difference, so size up if you are unsure.
