Your credit note is valid for twelve (12) months.

Can I get my credit note refunded?

We can reimburse you via the same payment method that was used to make the booking (minus a €5 processing fee).

SHUTTLE TIMETABLES AND STOPS

Why am I unable to book my tickets well in advance?

Airports update their flight schedules twice a year, and in order to ensure your flight arrival and your shuttle departure are optimally synchronised, we also update our schedule twice a year.
These changes are made seasonally: during autumn (towards the end of October), and spring (towards the end of March).

Sign up to our newsletter to be the first to receive updates on our schedules and ticket availability.

Does flibco.com plan to serve other destinations in the future?

flibco.com is always working to expand its range of destinations in order to offer you the best service.

How do I find out where the shuttle stops?

How do I recognise the Flibco shuttle?

Our shuttles can be recognised by our green flibco.com logo.

Where do I need to transfer in order to make a connection?

If you have booked a journey to Frankfurt Main, you will need to transfer at Frankfurt Hahn.

BOOKINGS

Where can I book my tickets?

Online: 

The best way to book your tickets is on our website.

 

On board:

Tickets purchased on board are more expensive. So it makes sense to buy your ticket online in advance. Drivers can also only sell one-way tickets and tickets are subject to availability.

 

Please note: Online booking is mandatory for Arlon, Bastogne, Namur, and Marche-en-Famenne.

Can I cancel or change my ticket?

All lines except Brussels-Charleroi:

You can cancel or modify your booking up to 6 hours before your scheduled departure. To do so log on to your account using your email and password, go to the ‘Planned Trips’ section, and cancel the relevant booking.
The cost of the booking will be credited to your Flibco account and the amount will be automatically deducted from your next booking.

 

Brussels-Charleroi line only:

Tickets for the Brussels-Charleroi line are valid for the entire day (no specific time). It is not possible to cancel the booking on the day of departure, so any cancellations must be made at least one day ahead of time.

Are there discounts for students/seniors/people with reduced mobility?

No, there are currently no discounts. All customers must have a valid ticket to get a seat.

How do I book for a child under the age of four (4)?

For every adult ticket purchased, you can book a free ticket for a child under the age of four (4). When selecting the number of people on your journey during the booking process, tick the box marked ‘child’ if this is applicable.
 

Your ticket will include the words ‘Adult + Child’ and will allow you to access your seats.

You will not receive a specific ticket for your child.



Without an advance ‘Child’ booking, you will be asked to purchase a full-price ticket for the child, from the driver.
