Ciao, sono un viaggiatore che visita il Belgio tra un paio di settimane. Ho letto che ci sarebbe stato uno sciopero martedì 15 aprile, che sarebbe stato il giorno in cui viaggiamo da Anversa all’aeroporto di Bruxelles per catturare il nostro volo in partenza. Potrei ricevere qualche consiglio sul fatto che gli scioperi influenzino i nostri piani per viaggiare in treno martedì mattina? Dovrei cambiare il nostro alloggio per trascorrere la sera prima a Bruxelles invece di Anversa? Grazie in anticipo 🙂

Yes, your plans will be affected. And as the five unions are collaborating this time, I expect high impact.
Getting from Brussels to Zaventem will be easier, and could be good to look at bus routes already for that one’
yeah its going to affect this, but you can already see if you have a train, they should have the schedule up the day before the strike
Yes, when it is only 1 union striking you can work around it. Now it is going to be harder. I suggest sleeping in a hotel in Zaventem, near the airport. You can still go for a drink in the center in Zaventem. That is on walking distance from a lot of the hotels.
there are bus services to go between Brussels airport and antwerp, of which there are 3: airportexpress, flibco and flixbus (I don’t recommend this one though for this short trip, not punctual enough)
Besides, these are way cheaper than the train, too
I wouldn’t count on getting to Brussels without issues. During a strike, there are usually still a fair number of trains running on the main routes, but this time, it’s a joint action by almost all unions. Moreover, if there is not enough staff at traffic control and at the signal boxes to ensure safe operations, some lines or districts may even have no traffic at all. Changing accommodations would be the safe option.
