Practical info

No. If your ticket with Large Families discount has Brussels Airport-Zaventem as departure or arrival station, the Brussels Airport Supplement is already included in the price of your ticket. You don't need to buy a supplement separately.

You can open the gates at Brussels Airport-Zaventem station with the QR code that appears on your ticket.
Then it suffices to buy the supplement Class upgrade 1st class. You no longer need to buy a ticket at -50% as you had to before.
If you lose your Large Families discount card or if it gets stolen during the period between 1 January 2025 and the launch of the new fare range (before the end of the year), you can go to any of our ticket offices to get a duplicate.
