Travel by Airplane

There are two airports in Brussels, Brussels International Airport and Charleroi (Brussels South). There are many alternatives to fly from either of the airports. However, depending on your departure point, it might be more economical to fly to Paris (Charles De Gaulle), or Amsterdam (Schiphol) and then travel by train to Brussels.
