Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Poelkapelle

Meeting Point at Charleroi Airport

Your driver waits at Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without searching the terminal.

The Drive to Poelkapelle

The transfer covers 151 km (94 miles) and typically takes 1 h 37 m. Most of the journey is on motorway, heading west across Belgium into West Flanders. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours around Brussels and Ghent, and in bad weather, when traffic can slow down noticeably. Because the ride is private, the driver can adjust to your arrival time if your flight lands late.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other. For smaller parties there are private taxis for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, so you can pick the size that matches your headcount and luggage.

About Poelkapelle

Poelkapelle is a small village in the municipality of Langemark-Poelkapelle in West Flanders. It lies in the Ypres Salient, the area of the First World War battlefields. Many visitors come for the war cemeteries, memorials and the surrounding farmland. The countryside is quiet and flat, so the last stretch of the ride is calm and rural. Please give your driver the exact street address or the name of your accommodation, since village roads can be easy to confuse.

Places to Stay Near Poelkapelle

Poelkapelle itself is very small, so most travellers stay in nearby Ypres (Ieper), the closest larger town. Well-known options there include:

• Ariane Hotel
• Novotel Ieper Centrum
• Hotel Albion

Tell us at booking if your drop-off is in Ypres rather than in Poelkapelle, so the driver has the right destination.
