Flixbus - New Intercity Bus Service Launches This Thursday
In the News
I've never heard of them, and I’m not sure how well they are going to do with what’s happening in the world at the moment, but they will be offering international services
They are well known throughout Europe, like Oui, they offer transport by bus through several countries and at a very interesting price for those who like to spend hours on a bus
lol I don’t do much coach travel, so I only know about national express and megabus. The idea of sitting on one for hours doesn’t excite me
All the departure points are Southern at the moment - London, Portsmouth, Plymouth and Bristol. They are a cheap way to travel throughout Europe for those on a budget.
Suppose it will all depend whether they can compete in the longer term with budget airlines , time will tell, but some of Easy jet fares from Bristol to Paris are already cheaper and the time saving massive.
The time spent at airports is likely to be much longer before a vaccine is created. I haven't read anything about it yet, but I believe that a minimum of 3 or 4 hours before a local flight will be quite common.
I have never heard of them either, but if the prices are that cheap, I may consider using them in the future, even if it means being stuck for hours on a coach
Had a quick check of London to Disneyland Paris. Very reasonable, travels through the night so I suppose if you're able you can sleep on the coach (I'm no good at that) although I don't fancy the idea of getting there at 6am! It's good to know it's there as an option though
Yes I’m not very good at sleeping on the coach...and if I did fall asleep my snoring is bound to keep other passengers awake! I reckon their deals will be very reasonable to start with, but as they grow in popularity, so will their prices
Travelling by Coach/Bus/Train is awesome to see your surroundings, something that going by plane you can't do. Would do it for sure if it was between cities of the same country. Different countries would have to give it a thought.
