    Not only Belgium's largest airport (22 million passengers / year), but also the number one seller of chocolate around the world, selling over 800 tons of chocolate per year. That's 1.5kg every minute!

    The easiest and cheapest way is going by train to the centre. Taxi costs 45 €. If you travel weekend, then buy a weekend ticket which gives you unlimited right to use local trains including Brugges!

    One of the quickest international airports in Europe. You get trough immigration and security really fast and also bag collection is a matter of minutes.

    Compact and efficient airport. Free WiFi throughout which remembers your device for the next stop here. Everything is fast and efficient EXCEPT the immigration for non-EU which could be 40 min wait.

    Very nice modern airport.Lots of layers of security, especially for those leaving or entering the EU.Be prepared to wait to get through the secondary passport checkpoint when moving between terminals.

    Renovated with faster access to check in. Nice and spacious central lounge area. Duty free shops have good price and a large variety. Not a lot of healthy options to eat. Good deals for chocolates.

    I love this airport. Security is very fast most of the time. Big windows to watch the planes. Have breakfast at "Blend in Brussels", you have a great view over the tarmac there!

    Buy your chocolates at local shops before you come to the airport. Cheaper and you can put them in your check-in luggage.

    Soccer fan? These baby foot tables at our airport bring you in the right mood for the World Cup 2014. They're free to use, you'll find them near several bars at Pier A, Pier B & arrivals level.

    Be careful w/ short connections, this airport involves lots of walking. One hour connections are do-able but be prepared to keep a swift pace. Lots of great shops so if you do have time great for that

    12-14 check-ins placement on the second floor is almost empty and has nice (but short) sofas to sleep. Also you can close doors from main hall and keep to a minimum number of people in this area:)

    The bottles of "travel water" (€ 1) are way cheaper than what you will find in other shops or bars after the security checkpoint.

    One of the most striking innovations at Brussels Airport is the Connector, a building which links the passenger terminal to Pier A above-ground. It will open to the public on March 26th, 2015. Read more

    It is located partially in Zaventem, partially in the Diegem area of Machelen,and partially in Steenokkerzeel, in the Flemish Region of Belgium.

    The origins of Brussels Airport at Zaventem date back to 1940, when the German occupying force claimed 600 ha (1,500 acres) of agricultural fields reserved as a back-up airfield ("Steenokkerzeel").

    Passengers using public transportation travelling to or from Brussels National Airport has to pay a “Diabolo fee” on top of the ticket price.

    Visit the toy store at terminal B for some last minute presents. Also, check shops for goods with expiry date closing in - great Belgian cheeses, pralines and waffles for up to -60%

    Nice modern airport. Only one terminal so (too) long walking distances between certain gates. Long time parking options in walking distance from departure hall (P3 reservation, book well ahead).

    Beware of super expensive shops and restaurants. Also beware of a long and winding (but fun) walk from the schengen pier to the international pier. It's a nice facility overall.

    There is an urban legend that the site of the airport was chosen by the Germans after asking locals where to build it–the Belgians then pointed to this location as it was often foggy.

    Very organised Airport with friendly staff. After passport control I realised that I forgot flowers that I bought for my girl, at the security, they even allowed me to come back to get them. Grateful!

    More chaotic security post the threats so make sure you don't dawdle if short transit time. The airport is large. Good shops...and you can't miss the chocolates.

    This is a great international airport with departure taxes less than Germany or the UK. Makes a difference in ticket prices. Love connecting here.

    Pretty good airport. It's not too huge so it's easy to get around in. The wifi is free for 30 minutes if you watch a video, register, etc. Pretty annoying process just to be able to check your email.

    New pier A and B common approach is airy, spacious and inviting. Security is well organised and not as paranoid as some other European airports.

    The cafe opposite the duty fee shop on Terminal B is recommended for a great cup of coffee and an apple muffin, especially if you're at the airport early am.

    Near Gate A40 there is a great little charging area to sit and wait. Not far away is Dunkin Donuts and Mercedes-Benz.

    Don't get yourself stuck at Bar Rouge if you don't know your gate yet! Explore the shops, chocolate (!!), smoothies & more on the next floor up on the higher A gates!

    Take some time and write a postcard to a good friend. Seems to be faster than writing a message using the super slow wifi.
