You land at Brussels Airport and just want to get home quickly and comfortably. But where exactly do you need to be to find your driver? At CTD Taxi Mechelen, we keep it simple and clear: the Java Café in the arrivals hall is our regular meeting point.
In this blog, we explain step by step how to get from the plane to the Java Café. This will ensure your arrival goes smoothly, without stress or confusion.
Why we work with a fixed meeting point
After years of experience in airport transport, we know that clear communication makes all the difference. That is why CTD Taxi has chosen one recognisable and easily accessible location: the Java Café.
- Location: On the right in the arrivals hall of Brussels Airport.
- Advantages: Highly visible, busy and surrounded by other landmarks.
- Recognisability: Our driver will be waiting there with a sign bearing your name or our logo.
How do you get to the Java Café? Follow these simple steps
We will explain the entire process from the moment you land:
- After landing
The plane will taxi to the gate. - Leave the plane
Follow the flow of passengers to border control or passport control. - Go to the baggage carousel
Follow the signs to ‘Baggage Claim’ and collect your suitcases. - Go through customs
Follow the signs to ‘Exit’ or ‘Customs’. - Enter the arrivals hall
You will pass through two automatic sliding doors.
And now… where is that Java Café?
As soon as you step through those sliding doors, you will see the Stella Artois Café right in front of you.
Then you have two choices:
Turn left? Then you will end up at Quick.
Turn right? Perfect! You’ll see the Java Café right in front of you.
Here you will often see dozens of drivers standing with signs in their hands.
Our CTD Taxi driver will also be waiting for you there.
What if my flight is delayed?
Don’t panic. At CTD Taxi, we always ask for your flight number when you make your reservation. This allows us to:
- Track your flight in real time.
- Know when your luggage will be available.
- Estimate when you will be in the arrivals hall.
So you don’t have to let us know anything. We will simply be there, at the right time, at the Java Café.
