Good Value

It's a 34 minute journey from Zaventem to Antwerp, and the ticket price is 8€.




Putting that in perspective, it's 1.5 times the distance of London Paddington to Heathrow, at 1/3 of the cost comparing cheapest tickets.. Oh yeah...

Here we go, here we go....

A maze ing. Must be England playing...
Catch 10 mins of game to see Lescott score, then in the 3 minutes it takes to walk to the Departure Gate for Brussels there's and equaliser and then half time...

With a news blackout from here until disembarkation, actually it's a new way of being entertained with the same old script, teased and frustrated by the boys from Blightey  :-D

Direct Train Brussels Airport to Antwerp Begins 10th June

This was a much awaited service, and now it begins: antwerp now has a direct train link from Brussels International Airport (Zaventem).

On first inspection it looks a thrill, but look again and it's handy for some but not all:
Trains run once per hour and at a different time in the weekend to during the week, so at each end you have around quarter to the hour departure, and about 5-10 past the hour at weekend: here's. Couple of extracts:










For those who arrive just too late there remains the coach service (I believe) which departs on the hour each way, and stops at Crowne Plaza in South Antwerp, so that might still be the best option for some
