No commercial flight before saturday at Zaventem (national airport) - repairs needed.
Metro (subway) to stay closed for 3 weeks (repairs)

At Bruxelles Midi train station, you are be checked before entering the station - no queue at 7 30 pm but don't know at rush hour.

HUGE military presence and cops swarming all over the place : normal cops (blue uniform), SNCB auxilaries (in red uniforms). Military had helmets on - poor guys.

No access to/from parking : you must cross the street and enter the parking from there - doors only open if you kept your ticket (which I hadn't since I left before the attacks...).

At Paris Gare du Nord business as usual - I went much faster than usual but was still checked. They reintroduced cops on the Thalys.

thanks, I have a friend stuck in Amsterdam trying to get to Paris, this helps.

Glad you are home. Something about having your family together makes a huge difference.

Yes Flpab - I was lounging to be home.
Tomorrow I have to take the train (wiht my bike) to retrieve my car at the garage.

Thanks for the update, Whathello.
3 weeks of metro closing is quite an amount of time.
Hope Brussels people manage to get around.

Today at work I received like 10 warning emails about security check in Belgium.

Glad to hear you made it home safely, Whathello. Thanks for the update.

Best wishes, What, to you and yours and your countrymen. HARD times.

Was wondering this evening if you were home. Good.

Zaventem airport is scheduled to restart operation tomorrow.
Announced at 20% of normal capacity.
