Brussels Airlines, part of the Lufthansa Group, is the natural choice for Belgian Brompton riders flying from Brussels Airport (BRU). The sports equipment fee is approximately €30 each way — one of the lowest fixed fees among European carriers. The bike must be declared as a bicycle and packed in a protective case or bag. Brussels Airport staff tend to be more familiar with folding bikes than most European airports, given Belgium's strong cycling culture. As part of the Lufthansa Group alongside Swiss and Austrian Airlines, the general approach to bike transport is consistent across these carriers.
