Getting between Brussels Midi station and Brussels Airport?

Not the best way but if you want to save a couple of euros, you can.

From Gare de Midi you can catch bus 27 to Parc Leopold, where you can change to bus line 21. You’re supposed to get a ticket of 4 euro for this ride because of the airport bus.

Even cheaper is using normal public transport all the way. Lines 359 or 659 are a possibility. Google Maps shows local buses. Except for lines 12 and 21 you could do with a normal ticket, which is 2 euros, or even cheaper if you get ten rides. Make sure to get a paper ticket in this case as lines 359 and 659 only accept paper (and not the Mobib chip card).

You can also travel for free to Gare Centrale and Gare du Nord. Unfortunately neither has a direct bus to the airport.

That said, the train is definitely a lot easier.

By train it’s 21 minutes and currently costs €7.70 (one way).

You can check the time tables, and even buy tickets online on Belgian Railways web site.

You can also directly choose Any Belgian Station option when buying Eurostar ticket, which seems to be €7.50 surcharge (for one way). How it works:

Travelling to other Belgian stations

The fares on this page all
include travel from Brussels-Midi/Zuid to any Belgian station. That
means you can use your Eurostar ticket to travel on any domestic
Belgian service* within 24 hours of arriving at Brussels-Midi/Zuid.

Please note Any Belgian station tickets can only be booked more than
48 hours prior to travel to allow for printing at home. Otherwise they
will only be available for collection from Brussels station.

*excludes Thalys and ICE services.

Thalys and ICE are international services, not really relevant when going to the Brussels airport.
