As far as I know, there is no such service here though.

Wrong. I have used for instance a non-Belgian (but European) Visa credit card with a 6-number pin in Belgium to get cash.

well yeah, I have no experience with a 6-number pin card, I sort of assumed since I have always only had 4 fields to enter my 4-number pin, it didn't accept longer pins. Still, I stand corrected on the matter.

* The "Jump" 1 day ticket is valid for all STIB lines (except the bus lines to the airport). It's also valid for the bus lines operated by De Lijn (flemish), TEC (walloon) and on trains, but only within the borders of Brussels (which excludes the airport). So adding the Diabolo fee is not enough, you'll have to buy a ticket to the airport.
* However, a good alternative is the "Discover Brussels" 24h card. It's only valid on the STIB lines (so no trains), but this one does include the 2 bus lines to the airport (12 and 21).
Both cards cost the same: 6€.

There have 2 types of one-day tickets:
* The "Jump" 1 day ticket is valid for all STIB lines (except the bus lines to the airport).

If you want to avoid Diabolo fee, you can take a train to/from Zaventem. Between Zaventem station and the airport, it's a 30 minuten walk.
To the airport, pass the main roundabout to a second roundabout. Cross the street and follow the cycle path to the Terminal.
From the airport, leave the Terminal building on floor 0 towards the bus station. Cross the bus station. Follow the red painted floor to the first roundabout. Turn left, pass along the main roundabout to the station.
