This is the cheapest exact number at this airport and it does not go to Brussels. Going on by train means a second ticket, at a price nobody publishes.

Buy the two tickets separately. SNCB's own instructions are to book the train to Charleroi-Central, then add the EUR 6.00 bus ticket as a supplement.

On the train, children under 12 travel free, four per adult. On this bus, only under-6s do. A six-year-old rides the train for nothing and pays EUR 6.00 for the bus.

Since 4 July 2026 Luttre and Fleurus are no longer served. Charleroi-Central is the connection.

At EUR 6.00 this single costs more than any ordinary fare on the Walloon network, including Express services.
