Hi jet setters its Calvin I'm at Brussels International Airport this
morning and I'm going to show you how to take the train from here into the city
it's super quick it's about a 17 to 20 minute ride and costs under 10 euros and
it's not that hard to to get there so even if you're in between flights you
have a longer time you can jet into the city and see The Grand Place fairly
simply so let's go I'll show you what it's all like
okay everyone so I'm in the arrivals area where you'll probably be coming out
from your flight and what you have to do is you have to go down two levels you
take the escalator down two floors to where you buy the ticket so let's go
down that way and I'll talk to you once we get to the ticket area okay
okay everyone we're in the area where you buy the tickets now again it's two
floors below where you're going to get off the airplane that the arrivals area
and basically what you do you have two options you can either buy the ticket
from the Machine and if you go there all you need to do is punch in the language
you want to go in the destination that you're going to and the number of
tickets that you're gonna buy and then you can either pay with cash with coins
or you can pay with credit card now I've had mixed luckier quite often you need
your PIN to use your credit card here and if that doesn't work for a North
American card don't worry about that just get in the lineup that is for the
ticket office now the only thing to point out here is sometimes this place
can be kind of crazy if a whole bunch of flights are arriving at the same time
there'll be big lineups like there's a big lineup behind me right now and then
sometimes you go and there's no one there at all
so just be prepared for a bit of a wait sometimes it takes longer to buy your
ticket and it takes to get to downtown but it's just the nature of airport
arrival so the once you have your ticket what you
need to do is you scan it through the gate to get on to the platform area and
you do not need to scan it again once you get to your destination
however on your return trip when you buy your ticket at the station where you're
leaving from keep it because you need that ticket to scan out at the airport
the airport's a special stop where you need to scan in and out... alright so let's go
downstairs and see what the station platforms like
okay so I'm on the train track now and the way to find out which train to take
is just look at the board's above the escalators and it shows you where the
destination of the train is and look on the list of stops that it makes to see
if it's going where you want to go I'm going to central most the time that is
not a destination stop it's just a stop along the way so you need to look at the
whole list to see if your train is going there and you just go down the escalators
and get on the train now don't worry if the train doesn't look like what I'm
showing you in this video there are a whole bunch of different kinds of trains
that go on is these tracks some of them are commuter trains some of them are
intercity trains some of them are one-story some of them are two
stories like the one behind me so there's a whole bunch of different ones
you just need to make sure it's going to the stop that you want to go too so let's
get on the train and see what it's like
okay everyone as you can see it's quite simple to take the train and within 20
minutes were in downtown or central Brussels and there's all kinds of sights
to see here and fun things to look at and all kinds of shopping and food and
galleries and stuff like that I'm about to head off just down the street there
it's a three or three to five minute walk to The Grand Place so if you guys
liked that video hit the thumbs up below and if you'd like to come on more
jet-setting adventures subscribe I'd love to take you along until next time
happy travels everyone
