Prepare your Ostend journey brief

  1. Arrival: If your flight uses Ostend-Bruges International Airport (OST) or Antwerp International Airport (Deurne) (ANR), give the airport on your ticket, flight number and arrival date. Add the full Ostend hotel or venue address; these airport references do not establish a road route or a collection point.
  2. An airport arrival with several stops: If your flight is booked at Ostend-Bruges International Airport (OST), use Bruges arrival planning and Roeselare arrival planning for the separate hotel or venue addresses. Say whether the enquiry covers one continuous itinerary or individual local transfers, with passengers and bags for each leg.
  3. Group and return: Include passengers, luggage and mobility needs. Put any return date, pickup time and departure flight or train in the message field.
