Flibco.com Value for Money? | Brussels Charleroi - Ghent

ROUTE: BRUSSELS CHARLEROI - GENT SINT-PIETERS
OPERATOR: FLIBCO
COACH: MERCEDES TOURISMO
COST: 2 adult single fares €34.98 (£31.68)
Having arrived at Brussels Charleroi, flibco.com would provide onward travel to Gent. Online reviews for this company seemed very negative but for us it was a cheaper option than bus and train booked through SNCB.
Flibco.com provides private airport shuttle services in Europe. Serving countries like Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany, Cyprus, Netherlands, France, Portugal, Spain, and Hungary.
Flibco started in early 2005. In 2010 they started with a service from Luxembourg to Charleroi.In addition to offering an airport shuttle service they also operate a door to door pickup and drop off service.

Tim's Travels 1 SD Card 0 - a great save mate, well done!

[@Timstravels01]

Thanks mate, it was frustrating but hopefully folk get an idea of the flibco.com experience.

[@JonathanPorterfield]

Love the livery on the bus , esp the nose wheel of the jet 😊

[@Timstravels01]

Yeah the livery looks great!

[@davidcartwright5591]

Always enjoy your videos Tim , especially when Mrs TT is featured . Looked a pretty good trip overall , and reasonably priced I thought . Cheers Tim and my regards to Mrs TT as well 👍

[@Timstravels01]

Thanks mate! It was a decent enough trip, not close to the terrible reviews I’d read. I have passed your regards on to Mrs TT. 😁👍

[@WorldWide_Dom]

Great video again Tim, Been on this last year to Brussels. Had an interesting experience, between having someone falling sleep on me randomly and getting a pat down at Charleroi for getting some construction dust on me, but honestly from my experience flibco are totally fine.

[@Timstravels01]

Cheers Dom, it was nowhere close to the reviews I’d read. Nothing outstanding but not terrible.

[@juldomingo8051]

Hey Tim! Did the bus stop in Brussels before Ghent or is there a separate bus heading to Brussels? Thanks!

[@Timstravels01]

Hi Jul, thanks for watching. There are separate buses which travel to Brussels. There is a service from Charleroi to Brussels Midi railway station.

[@danielpatchett9047]

Not a big fan of buses myself but I can appreciate their value

[@Timstravels01]

You and me both! 🤣🤣🤣

[@TravelSignal]

Thanks - seems like the service is ok, especially for an airport transfer. I know the feeling, re corrupted files - my phone camera has started doing the same (I lost a beautiful video of the views taking off from Malta last week :( ) At least you managed to salvage enough for a decent video!

[@Timstravels01]

It’s a decent service but it was nowhere as bad as the reviews I’d read. Corrupted files - so so frustrating! Mind you, it means we can go and try recording more footage.

[@flyingmyles]

A grand video as always Tim! The seat looks a wee bit comfy there, but the "dead" body at 03:24 seems to have no trouble with, what I hope he's doing, sleeping 😅😅 Sorry to hear about the corrupted files too, was that the go pro?

[@Timstravels01]

😂 the "dead" body was doing just fine. Aye the GoPro decided not to play ball. I think the other footage from the trip should be ok. Thanks for watching mate, much appreciated!

[@flyingmyles]

@@Timstravels01 arrg the go pro! The bain of a videoers life. Mine always decides it doesn't want to 'wake up' when I need it

[@Timstravels01]

It’s so frustrating.

[@yhps90011441]

Thank you for your sharing. I’m going to take flico this summer and can’t find any reviews in mandarin, hope everything is ok when I take it

[@Timstravels01]

I hope it all goes well and that my video helped. Thank you for watching.

[@billyshearer1]

Looked OK. Surprised the train fare was higher

[@Timstravels01]

Decent enough. Of course this was a one-off journey but nothing like the negativity I read online.

[@tomhill3205]

Hi. What time of the day was it when you were on the bus? I’m going with Flibco from Charleroi airport to Brussels soon and am concerned about the long queues

[@Timstravels01]

Hi, thanks for watching. We caught the 1230 service from Charleroi. The queues didn't seem particularly bad at that time of day.

[@railnut21]

Seems relatively ok. I would struggle being 6 ft 6 but otherwise the offering doesn't seem too bad

[@Timstravels01]

It was decent enough but the seat would be tight for someone 6 ft 6!

[@doubledutch13]

Good video none the less 👍

[@Timstravels01]

Thank you! Very frustrating but such is life.

[@andrewguy1525]

are there large queues and waiting times to go on the bus itself, I've heard sometimes people wait for hours?

[@Timstravels01]

That wasn't my experience. It was all very straightforward. It gets busy, but we didn't have to queue for long.

[@andrewguy1525]

Thank you ​@@Timstravels01

[@Timstravels01]

Glad to help. 😊

[@bolucetin]

Can we sit wherever we want on Flibco buses, or are there seat numbers?

[@Timstravels01]

You can sit wherever you like. There are no seats allocated to your booking.

[@walterfillingham]

Similar colours to Flixbus.. looks ok for a shortish journey, wouldn’t be too keen on a longer journey as it does look a bit cramped. Ironically Flixbus have just started journeys from Edinburgh to Aberdeen now and increased number of services from Glasgow to Aberdeen, hopefully Inverness next and especially a desperately needed direct coach service Inverness - Elgin - Aberdeen

[@Timstravels01]

Absolutely spot on about the livery. It would be great to have Flixbus up in Inverness...we shall see.

[@Timstravels01]

[@walterfillingham]

Ember electric coaches have full planning permission for large charging station in Inverness and Aberdeen so they definitely heading here soon

[@Timstravels01]

I had heard that, it’ll be really interesting to see how it all goes.

[@eduardrus9251]

Scam company. Do not choose it👌

[@Timstravels01]

Really? I had no issues whatsoever.

[@billyshearer1]

Looked OK. Surprised the train fare was higher
