Adam NabilApril 17, 2017It's easy to navigate in this big airport, directions are clear! There are multiple shops for those who want to buy clothes, chocolate, perfumes and all. Vending machines are all over the airport!

4sq SUs BelgiumDecember 31, 2015Not 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!

Cenker KöseFebruary 17, 2016The 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!Upvoted 1 week ago

Gabi BulumacDecember 12, 2015Welcome in Brussels 🎉🎊🎉 Brussels International Airport is the world's largest chocolate selling point 😂😂😂👍😋🍫🍩🍪🍮🍫🍩🍪🍮🍫
Ton LApril 15, 2018Compact 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.
Mark BJune 28, 2018Very 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.
The free Wi-Fi is great, so are the connections to the airport. But our airport need more shops and thing to do. Great security as well!
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.
Nice Airport, good WiFi, most of the time smooth security passage, strong food & beverage offer and above all great coffee
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.
Brussels Airport (BRU)June 5, 2014Soccer 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.
- Great one! Please arrive earlier because u might spend hours in its shops:) very well organised, so spacious, u will be amazed!Biz lounge is AWESOME. Free wifi
I’ve flown in and out of this airport about 12-14 times. Lots of walking but beyond security is fairly nice.l with good food choices.
Jen SoaresSeptember 11, 2014Be 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
Very smooth procedure today, passing checkin and security in just 15 minutes despite the additional security measures. Great job and kudos to the Brussels airport team.
Rodrigo PvJune 22, 2019Playground area on the left hand side of the beer and cheese (eu flights area - gates A). A kid friendly oasis with games and toilets.
Nice and spacious airport! Quiet seating area: go to gate A27! Sockets/usb ports provided.Upvoted Mar 24
M RJune 22, 201712-14 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.- Brussels AirportMarch 23, 2015One 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
Welcome to the home of Tintin, beer, chocolate, The Red Devils, the capital of the E.U. and plenty more! Be prepared to have an amazing time!
Roger A.May 30, 2019It is located partially in Zaventem, partially in the Diegem area of Machelen,and partially in Steenokkerzeel, in the Flemish Region of Belgium.- Roger A.May 30, 2019The 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").
Install "Vyaggio" app on your iPhone/Android and benefit from the great promotions available in almost all food and drinks outlets (SBX, Pizza Hut, Belgian Beer Café,...)
Passengers using public transportation travelling to or from Brussels National Airport has to pay a “Diabolo fee” on top of the ticket price.
Ivan Dorotka von EhrenwallFebruary 1, 2015Visit 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, handy airport. Can get crowded some times but their website and app have all info about how busy it is.
Always a pleasure to leave on holiday via BRU airport. Great shops but take in count the time to your gate as the airport is kinda big 😊 WIFi not always present only at fixed places.
The croque monsieur at the brewery in front of Starbucks is amazing. I eat one every single time I fly in or out...- Check in space overcrowded When Busy. New space and comfortable access to gates. Choose the right parking...
MuratJune 11, 2016Big, clean and very much passenger friendly. The staff is very kind. Very crowded though. Enough DutyFree and shopping area with food courte.
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).
Gregg PullanoJune 15, 2015Beware 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.
Great airport one of my favourites, security is always very fast and the new connector should be great! Good shops and comfortable waiting areas!- Roger A.May 30, 2019There 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!
If you like labyrinths, the parking lots are your playground :) lock, cd, express, front1, front2, VIP .. I need a dictionary. Do pay first as there is little machines to be found other than @ entranc- Bijan YoungMay 17, 2016More 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.
deekaySeptember 29, 2014Pretty 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.
Aashish JainDecember 23, 2013The 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.
Andromeda WilliamsMarch 20Near Gate A40 there is a great little charging area to sit and wait. Not far away is Dunkin Donuts and Mercedes-Benz.
- Brussels AirportSeptember 18, 2013Remember: today is your last chance to take a look at runway 02/20. Tomorrow, 19th of September 2013, its name will be 01/19.
Sonia SJuly 3, 2015Don'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!
Simon BaerSeptember 29, 2015Take some time and write a postcard to a good friend. Seems to be faster than writing a message using the super slow wifi.
