Travel with the Mini Group Ticket

Yes. The Mini Group Ticket is one ticket for the entire group, for the same route at the same time. If purchased online, your ticket will also include the names of all passengers.
No. The discount you receive for a mini group is because you are travelling with several people, so there is no connection with Train+.
No. Train+ offers discounts on tickets for one person (not groups) from the basic range.
No. The mini group rate offers a discount on the standard rate during off-peak hours and at weekends. At weekends, the discount is therefore also 40%.

If your journey is constituted of several connecting trains, it is the first leg of your journey that determines whether the “Off-peak” or “Anytime” fare applies.

After booking your train journey to or from Brussels Airport - Zaventem, you will receive a QR code that you can use to open the gates. This QR code can be scanned multiple times (depending on the number of travellers in your mini group).

For each one-way journey you book, you will receive a QR code that allows you to park at an SNCB car park at a preferential rate.

So if you book a return journey with your Mini Group Ticket, you will receive 2 QR codes (for 2 cars). Are you travelling with 14 people return? Then you will still only receive a maximum of 2 QR codes. 

Scan the QR code at the car park payment machine to pay the preferential rate.

The minimum price for a train journey is €2.6 (rounded) in second class, whether you have Train+ or not.
The benefits and discounts linked to Train+ may evolve throughout the validity of your Train+. The conditions applicable are those in effect at the time of travel.
