LIL · Compact Hauts-de-France single-terminal field with a solid Flibco shuttle and clear taxi board — undercut by no Priority Pass lounge, classic 100 ml security, sparse evening bus 68 frequency, and a leisure-heavy low-cost mix.
CRL · Belgium’s hard-working LCC gateway: 11.3M passengers, €6 Fast Track and twin Priority Pass lounges, undercut by the misleading “Brussels South” name and a coach-only link to the capital.
