Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Ooigem

The Drive from Zaventem to Ooigem

Ooigem lies 97 km (61 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 1 h 10 m. The route leads west across Flanders, so the journey is a straightforward road trip with no need to go into central Brussels. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush, when the roads around Brussels are busiest. Bad weather can also slow the traffic. Ooigem is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on your group size and how much luggage you bring.

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or friends travelling together with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 and 32 Seats: work well for company teams, wedding parties and club trips.
• Private Minibus 40 and 48 Seats: for large groups, events and tours that want to travel together.

About Ooigem and Where to Stay

Ooigem is a small village in West Flanders, in the municipality of Wielsbeke. It has a quiet, rural character, and the larger town of Kortrijk is nearby. I could not confidently name established accommodations in Ooigem itself, so the following are in Kortrijk, the nearest larger town:

• Parkhotel Kortrijk, a long-standing hotel near the city centre.
• Hotel Messeyne, a well-known boutique hotel in the heart of Kortrijk.

Kortrijk is a short drive from Ooigem, so these hotels suit visitors who want a wider choice of restaurants and facilities.
