Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Ath

Meeting Point at Charleroi Airport

Your driver waits at Starbucks inside Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there after baggage reclaim.

The Drive from Charleroi to Ath

The route covers 65 km (40 miles) and usually takes about 56 minutes by road. That makes it a comfortable trip for the end of a flight, with no need to plan around train changes or timetables. Allow extra time during the morning and evening rush hours, when traffic around the Charleroi and Mons area can be heavier, and in bad weather. Because this route is booked only occasionally, your driver will be assigned specifically for your arrival.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For one to three passengers, a private taxi is the simplest option. A second taxi option seats up to four passengers, which suits a small family or a group of colleagues with a few suitcases. If your party is bigger, minibuses are available in a range of sizes: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Pick the size that matches your headcount and the amount of luggage you are bringing, and the booking form will show what is available.

Ath as a Destination

Ath is a town in the province of Hainaut, in the Wallonia region of Belgium, not far from the Flemish border. It is best known for its traditional giants, the large figures paraded through the streets during the annual Ducasse festival, and for the town centre around the Grand-Place. It is a quieter place than the big Belgian cities, so a direct transfer is often the most practical way to arrive.

A Tip for Your Arrival in Ath

Have the full street address of your destination ready when you book, since some central streets in Ath are narrow or have limited access. If the exact drop-off point is hard to reach by car, your driver can stop at the nearest convenient spot and help with your bags.
