You can get a ticket for a day or a week. Very cheap [2], and it's working very well for me.<br>

To buy a card, you can do it at any Villo! station.<br>

The reason for the extra fee on top of STIB/MIVB tickets is that they<br>
operate in Brussels, but the airport is 'out of their normal reach',<br>
over in Flanders.<br>

They could state it clearer that the airport is outside the network.<br>
Thanks for the explanation.<br>

The cheapest (€3) way to get from the airport to Brussels is using De<br>
Lijn 272, 471, BUT that will take about an hour to get to the wrong side<br>
of the city. The terminus at North Station is not the VUB campus.<br>

Perfect for me as I will arrive in the evening and have a hotel in that<br>
area. Thanks again.<br>
<br>
>From there to the VUB campus sounds easy again as it is all within the<br>
city, so all transports are available.<br>
