Charleroi is victim of its success : always crowded, queues at the security check, not a lot of breathing space anywhere !

Charleroi, 8 millions of passengers per year, but the terminal is not designed for this capacity. Getting to the airport is not bad, but there is no possibility to get to the airport without paying entrance fees. The bus costs 6?, parking form 0 to 10 minutes costs 50 cents, no way out to the bus which stops a street further and costs 3?. Security terrible, they throw with your belongings, don't speak english, dutch, only french or arabic. When sth falls on the ground they say it's not me, it could be your computer, phone, doesn't matter, they don't care about anything. No free wifi, 15 minutes around 2? so for nowadays it very expensive. Drinks beginning from 3? and up, food from 5?. Terrible, that is what I can say and it's not particularly this one time, I have flown from this airport like 100 times and every time even worse.

A small and crowded airport but it manages to get all the passengers from a to b in a decent manner. Getting to the airport is only acceptable by car or a busride from charleroi which takes 30 minutes. They are expanding the airport so hopefully the future will bring more terminal facilities.

One of the worst airports in Europe right now, overcrowded, often dirty, and with an expensive Internet connection (yes, in 2016 we still need to pay for Internet in the center of Europe).

C'est un aeroport low-cost, base de Ryanair. Ne pas s'attendre a du grand luxe. Mais le dimensionnement pourrait etre revu pour le controle securite, pour les halls souvent noirs de monde. Le parking est tres cher, ils doivent se rattraper la-dessus

Late night arrival, no food available. Shuttle service was ready to take us to the nearby hotel. Pretty deserted and not altogether well-marked.

The security was the worst experience, very impolite staff, unhelpful as they were for a family of six trying to navigate through customs. The food was the most overpriced I've ever seen, the water could be termed as price-gouging.

Well, in one of the reviews someone wrote It was fucking fuck. I prefer not to use such language, but I do agree. The airport itself is actually pretty ok - on arrival I got out of the airport quickly, and on the way back I came 15 minutes before departure and still made the flight (including security check, border control and all of that stuff). But the fact I had to pay almost 100? for 2 people for a return bus ticket to Brussels, by a very average bus that felt like it was going 60 km/h, makes me never want to fly to this airport again. Never.

Charleroi was a small airport and everything for claiming our luggage to checkin in upon arrival for our flight back was quick, smooth and easy. The staff was friendly and my overall impression of the airport was efficient, smooth and clean.

The facilities of CRL are ok, but the problem is that the amount of travellers is growing at a crazy rate. The result is a terminal that feels cramped and crowded all the time.
Especially arriving in the late evening is a horrible experience, as navigating the enormous amounts of people takes quite some effort.
Plus the lack of free wifi is appaling in a Western European airport.
Transport options are ok as there are frequent and affordable shuttle buses to Brussels South train station. No free wifi here, either, though.

Very expensive and overcrowded airport, far away from the city with expensive bus connection having a monopoly on the route. There is no free wifi. I hate Charleroi airport from my very heart and soul!

If you buy your ticket in advance at flibco.com, you can get to Lille from the airport for ?5.
WiFi is to be payed.
At the restaurant 1 bottle of water (0.5l) costs ?3.4, at the newspaper shop it costs ?2.

The airport is located about an hour of distance from Brussels, however, the capital is easily accessible by a large amount of buses. Basically, the airport facilities are specious and well-kept. Unfortunately, there's NO free Wi-Fi available at the airport, as well as the amount of energy sockets is limited.

The most horrible airport I have ever seen. Slow and bad Xray control. There was no free wifi but an expensive one (15 mins- 2 euro). Boarding at the gate for Trapani was unfair because a lot of people got into the priority line without having a priority ticket. Furthermore, they didn't even check what was written on that paper. I don't reccomend to anybody that airport and wish the flight assistants were awaken.

Der ordentliche Bereich ist lacherlich klein. Nach der Sicherheitskontrolle wird es angenehmer und etwas ruhiger. Schoner Blick durch gro?e Glasscheiben auf das Vorfeld. Fur Fluge au?erhalb der EU gibt es einen kleinen Duty Free Shop.

You don't have to be there really much in advance. One hour before flight departure is more than enough.
The airport itself is tiny and there are not many shops.
There is Wi-Fi but you have to pay a tremendous amount of money for it.

Quite good airport, a lot of possibilities to travel to Luxembourg/ France/ Belgium using cheap buses outside the terminal. Wi-Fi isn't free, stores are great. You can easily charge your phone using power sockets.

Small, but very useful airport. Easy to catch from Brussels and all Belgium by train or by bus.
Nice restaurants and good foods, beers. Very clean, and open 24 hours.
You can see the planes from the terminal building.
Wifi isn't free, very expensive, without an account you can only see the airport website.

Charleroi Brussels South is a fine airport, by regional airports standards. There are a few shops for goodies, food and drinks, but it's nothing impressive. Things usually go quicker than in bigger airports. When we arrived back here from our trip, we did not have to wait for our luggage at all. It's also a nice looking airport. What makes it feel a little cheap though, is the fact that you have to walk outside to board your plane. Also, wifi is not free.

Long queues to security control, beacuse of only 2 checkpoints open and a lot of ads saying you can pay 4? for less crappy security check. Almost 20 minutes spend on crowded stairs before finally boarding the plane.

Very good low cost airport, but very small and on rush hours very busy. Strict rules. Clean and not croudy. Few shops but good shops. You can reach Brussels only with a shuttle bus because it's quite far.

This airport exceeded my expectations for such a small airport. It's modern and clean, and not too busy. However, since it's such a small airport there barely are shops or restaurants.

Disaster. Dirty bathrooms, staff with personality issues (excepting the security staff which is quite professional and correct), expensive (10 EUR for a blackened burger with a card board bun). Food court out of stock after 7PM.

Not bad, just far from Brussels if your flight is at 6:50 a.m. because it is difficult to have a bus so early.
