Frequently asked questions
Flights, email alerts, parking, €10 tax and shuttle at Charleroi airport: short answers.
Flights
Where do the flight times come from?
They come from the airport's board and we update them at short intervals. Your airline remains the reference for your flight, so if its message differs from our page, follow its message.
What does "Expected" mean next to "Scheduled"?
"Scheduled" is the programme time. "Expected" is the time given for that flight today, including any delay once it is known.
Is the aircraft's position on the map accurate?
We read it from public ADS-B receivers when they pick up the aircraft, and the map then says "Measured position". Otherwise we estimate it from the schedule, and the map says that too.
Email alerts
When does the alert email me?
You get an email 20 minutes before landing, another on landing, and one at each further 15-minute delay.
Why do I have to click a link?
The alert only starts after that click. It lets us check that the address really is yours. If the email does not arrive, look in your junk folder.
Do you keep my email address?
We delete it no later than 48 hours afterwards. You do not need to create an account.
Parking
How much does parking cost for a week?
The five private car parks on this site cost €40 or €41 for 7 days, tax included and shuttle advertised as free, based on rates checked on 29/10/2026. The final price appears when you book.
Who runs the car parks shown?
The company publishing this site or its partners. Other car parks exist around the airport, and CRL Gate is not the airport's website.
How long before my flight should I reach the car park?
The car parks ask for at least 2 hours before the flight. They open from 4:00 to midnight, so for an early flight check that this leaves you enough margin.
The €10 tax
What is the €10 tax?
The car parks' price pages announce a €10 per vehicle charge, called airport tax, to pay on site when you arrive. All our prices already include it.
Does the tax depend on the number of passengers?
It applies per vehicle. With four people in the same car, you pay €10 once.
The shuttle
Is the private car park shuttle free?
The five car parks shown advertise it as free both ways. Confirm this with the car park.
How much is the P3 shuttle?
€8 per person when checked on 29/10/2026, on top of the parking. You can also walk to the terminals in 20 minutes, according to the airport.
