Istanbul - Brussels Flight Tickets

The Pegasus plane, which departs from Sabiha Gokcen Airport at 10.35 am every day of the week, reaches Brussels Airport at 1.05 pm. You can use different means to reach the city after buying the most economical ticket you'll find on flypgs.com. The most practical means of transportation between the airport and the city is going to one of the Brussels North, Midi or Central stations by taking the train, which takes off every 10 minutes. If you want to have some information about the timetable beforehand, you can check http://www.belgianrail.be/en/Default.aspx.

There are taxis for those who prefer a more comfortable trip. The best thing to do is making a reservation by calling +32 2 752 98 00 or using the website:www.hendriks.be. For bigger groups. you can contact Directway, which provides minivans or buses, on their website www.directway.be or by calling +32(0)2 772 00 00. 

If you prefer renting a car, you can make a reservation on flypgs.com.

Bus can be one of your options since it's cheap. You can take the bus with the code "De Lijn 471" at the bus stop located on the ground floor of the airport or reach the city center in 30 minutes with MIVB/STIB shuttles that can be found in Platform C.

In Brussel, the most popular way of transportation in the city is walking. However, in case you're short in time or you don't like walking, we want to remind you of other options that are suitable to you. Brussels has 4 main subway lines: The purple line is between Gare de l'Ouest – Stockel; the red line goes between Simonis-Leopold II - Simonis-Elisabeth; the yellow line is between Erasmus - Hermann-Debroux; and the blue line goes between Simonis-Elisabeth - Roi Baudouin. You can get a city card, which is called Mobib, to not buy a new ticket every time you use the subway.

You can also use trams, which reaches almost every part of the city center, to see the city while transporting instead of going around underground. In Brussels, no one expects you to show your tickets in any public transportation. However, there are random ticket controls and it has a big penalty if they realize that you don't have a ticket.

Another way to transport in the city is the bus, of course. You can easily learn which bus you need to use by typing your starting point and destination on this website: http://www.stib.be/reisweg-itineraire.html?l=en
