Brussels Charleroi Airport and shuttle

I’ll be arriving at Brussels Charleroi Airport at 3:40 PM with a carry-on bag on Ryanair. The Flibco shuttle to Lille leaves at 4:00 PM right outside the airport—will 20 minutes be enough? The next shuttle isn’t until 5:00 PM. Thanks for your help! Paule

I checked, the shuttle buses stop at the usual spot, right in front of the terminal. Arriving at 3:40 PM, you should be able to catch the 4:00 PM bus if you don’t have checked luggage. Conditions: - that your flight lands on time, which is likely for a Ryanair flight - that you can exit the plane quickly (meaning you have a seat in the first or last rows, not in the middle) - and that you’re coming from a Schengen country, meaning no passport control on arrival

Hi Paule,

20 minutes is a bit tight, especially if your flight is delayed or there’s a long line at security. Personally, I prefer to avoid that stress. When I have tight schedules, I use an airport taxi (e.g., https://aeroporttaxi.be/): it’s more flexible, the driver waits for you at the exit, and you leave right away without depending on shuttle schedules. It’s a bit pricier than Flibco, but the comfort and time saved are worth it, especially when your margin is slim.
