The holidays really begin for French speakers tonight! In Zaventem, it’s already teeming, 80,000 passengers are expected today. Despite the crowd, it’s smiles that we meet in the departures hall.
“We are going to have fun, we are going to the south of Portugal, to Albufeira, with the family in the sun, in the heat! Total break, idleness, aquatic activities,… We are super excited, super happy!“, shares Jean-Jacques, who arrived well in advance with his wife and daughter.
According to the tour operator TUI, French-speaking families would be more numerous from than in 2022, with 9% additional reservations. The main destination remains Spain, followed by Greece and Turkey.
Others have opted for destinations outside Europe, such as Christian and Nicolas: “We’re going to Texas and New Mexico, via Montreal, we’re going to Dallas, we’re going for a ride there. This is the fourteenth time, America“.
Tomorrow, 71,000 people are expected and 77,000 on Sunday. The weekend promises to be busy, it is better to plan an early arrival: “Passengers are always told to come 2 hours in advance for a Schengen flight and 3 hours for a non-Schengen flight“, warns Nathalie Pierrard, spokesperson for the airport.We developed a tool with a little character called Bruce, on our website. It’s very easy, you enter your flight number and you receive all the information and in particular the ideal time of arrival at the airport“, she adds.
There are currently no announced delays.
