Brussels Airport (BRU) is Belgium’s main international gateway and typically handles most long-haul and full-service carrier traffic, with frequent operations by flag carrier Brussels Airlines and many major European and intercontinental airlines. Located about 12 km northeast of the city center, it’s usually reachable by train in roughly 20–25 minutes (regular services to Brussels Midi/Bruxelles-Midi) or by taxi in 25–40 minutes depending on traffic; expect public transport fares to be modest and taxi fares to vary. Pros: efficient rail link and broad route network make it convenient for international transfers; cons: can be busy at peak times and ancillary costs (parking, food) may be above budget options. Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL) often serves as a secondary airport catering primarily to low-cost carriers and charter flights, so fares can often be perceived as more budget-friendly for leisure travelers. It sits approximately 45–55 km south of central Brussels, with shuttle buses and coaches typically taking 45–75 minutes to reach the city depending on traffic; fares are generally lower than taxi rates, while taxis and car hires take longer and cost more. Pros: frequently cheaper ticket prices and straightforward low-cost services; cons: greater distance from the center and fewer full-service amenities compared with the main airport.

The airport sits about 12 km (roughly 20–30 minutes by car) from Bilbao city centre; taxi rides typically take about 20–30 minutes and can be moderately priced, while airport buses link central stops in roughly 30–40 minutes for a low fare.
