i was there about a year and a half ago. it took around and hour by bus. got it at a street beside the midi station(i think). at that time it cost €10....dont even think about getting a taxi.you'd be ripped off.
If you decide not to get the ryanair bus you can get the train to charleroi and a bus to the airport from there, the buses are every 15mins I think, you get the bus over by the tram stop outside the station to the left . The train leaves Brussels Nord,Central and Midi. it takes about 40mins from Nord to charleroi.Quote:

Aerlingus do good deals to Brussels international.
we flew there ("brussels south/charleroi") for a european match in holland a few years ago. its nowhere near brussels! it'd be like calling waterford "dublin south"
went there two years ago with aerlingus. i got the flight for half-nothing. the main airport is fairly handy. it is only about 20 minutes on the train which was only about two or three euro. i have no idea about flying with ryanair there but brussels is worth visiting.
As mentioned above I think the bus from Charleroi (its a different town so not Brussels) takes about an hour via the motorway next to the airport.
Anytime I looked the Aer Lingus fares to Brussels were very steep I presumed due to the EU...
As mentioned, it's an hour to Brussels by bus. I travelled in a group of four so we got a taxi which was still dearer than a bus, but it left us to our hotel door.
the bus now costs €11 single or €20 return from charleroi into brussels midi station. to get the bus back to the airport from midi, walk into the station main entrance & take a left exit half way down the station. you will see the buses parked up outside.Quote:
