Arriving at Brussels Airport

Arrivals to Brussels Airport from a fellow Schengen country don’t need to stand in line for immigration, they can head straight through to the baggage carrousels to collect any luggage. Keep in mind, however, that all passengers need to carry some form of official ID on them. Passengers from non-Schengen countries will need to pass through passport control with their passport and any necessary travel documents.

After you’ve collected your baggage you will pass through customs; if you have nothing to declare follow the signs to the Green Customs lane, if you do have items to declare, you should proceed through the Red Customs lane.

*If you have a connecting flight that requires you to exit or enter the Schengen area, you will need to pass through passport control. Upon arrival, follow the red Connections sign to your departure gate.

There are several transport options available from the airport at Brussels Arrivals Hall. To upgrade your travel experience with no wait time and help with your luggage, you can book a private transfer in advance to pick you up right outside the Arrivals Hall and take you directly to your destination in Brussels for the same cost as an airport taxi. Alternatively, you can hail a cab or rent a vehicle.
