What was the policy on using the seat recliner? I have only travelled on two overnight buses: Rede Expresos in Portugal, which had no issues with reclining the seats, and AP Varazdin in Croatia, where reclining the seat was STRICTLY PROHIBITED, despite the vehicle having such a feature.

@@ngvot First the bus never had any breaks to let us buy food and some drinks, tho they said they would have some longer stops, so all i had for drink was a half liter bottle of water, in august, in a over crowded bus where the AC didnt worked. It was an 9 hours trip. Imagine 9 hours in the summer heat , with everyone sweating, no breaks, no food, an toilet not possible to use and only half a liter of water. By the time we arrived i had the WORST headache of my life and felt like i need to puke all over. Asked the bus driver why there was no breaks he said no time for it....

[@Hispandinavian]

I love The Netherlands (except Amsterdam) and thought about taking Flixbus from Stockholm to Rostock, then to Lieve Nederland. It's looks a whole lot better than Greyhound in the US. Being a German based company, at least they look like they know how to stay consistent and on schedule. Greyhound in the US is horribly managed, understaffed, and hardly on time. They can't even maintain a proper schedule. It took me over 2 days to get to my destination, when it should have been less than a day. The Greyhound is like a homeless shelter on wheels now. Public transportation in the UK and Europe are way better.

[@JordanandEmily]

It's a good move, flix bus is so affordable!

[@mercyevia]

Do you guys have any tips on what i should bring on my flixbus trip? how can you be the most comfortable ? pillow? blanket? what kind of foods should you bring a lot water?:)))

[@JordanandEmily]

literally all of the above - Bring all the comfort things. The only concern i'd have would be water because if you drink to much you'll need to go to the bathroom and they aren't usually the best on the bus :/

[@shreyabhowmik6541]

Hey great video..what was the bus fare and I do recommend u guys visiting zakopane

[@JordanandEmily]

The bus fare from netherlands to poznan was expensive! It was about 90 euro for both of us on a flix bus! We cannot wait to see zakopane but have reserved it especially for the Christmas markets! We heard they are great there!

[@growqueen]

Where do I start. I travelled to Nottingham with my son to see my big son at university. My coach back home was 8:00pm. We arrived at the point of collection at 7:30 pm. At 8:15 pm the coach hadn't arrived. I thought the coach was just running late. At 8:45 pm I contacted customer service which was not a call center, but a chat operator. I explained the problem only to be told the coach had already left which was a lie as we were there from 7:30pm. I got cut off and went to chat again. This time it was around 9:00 pm and still so coach. My son was cold and tired. When I got through a second time I was told the coach was cancelled. I am deeply sadden to be treated like this. We had to get a train home costing £103.50. No refund for my train fair yet and no refund for the cancelled coach and no compensation for the inconvenience. I live in London and this company left us stranded in darkness with no word of communication. My son was scared as we were in the city centre with all sorts. I will never use this company again. No one has contacted me to apologise or anything. We didn't get home until after 12;00 am. How disgusting is that. This is the first time and last time I use this company. They have also kept some of my funds for a discount on any further trips I want this back as I do not plan to travel with them again. No way!!!

[@JordanandEmily]

Woah! That sounds horrible 😕 we definitely got the sense that they didn't care about their customers unfortunately

[@ankitjha6696]

Damn that's horrible. I had the exact opposite experience. We had booked tickets from Nuremberg to Vienna and our bus got cancelled. They let us book any alternative ticket on the same route for free. They also gave us the option to either get vouchers or refund in case we did not want to take an alternate ticket.

[@jwenting]

Yes, there is. Amsterdam-Berlin and then Berlin-Warsaw. I think you can also do Amsterdam-Frankfurt/Main and then Frankfurt-Warsaw. With more train changes your options of course go up.

[@sammas-a-man7740]

Sleeping on bus would be problematic unless those luxury busses with super recliner seats but those two are not a proper sleeping option. Astonished as how many videos surfacing with 24 hours on flix bus, I guess sleeping would be an issue still. Train with berths are way more expensive. There should be more carriages with berths.

[@leplane_]

My gosh, y'all! In Europe, you don't have anything larger than this Potato Pinto of a bus? Looks like a sardine can! I love South American bus services. In Uruguay, or Argentina, for example, you get a cool late model bus, with all the amenities, leather seats, for a two hour trip! If you go on longer trips though, they throw you in a two story bus, that makes the 787 Dreamliner red with shame. And it costs a fraction of what Flixbus charges. I'm really frustrated with the transport options in Europe. Trains are a pain to figure out, are overpriced, and often are all booked. Blablacar? it's all blah blah blah, no service at all. Driving a car? Costs as much as the GDP of Austria, with super high gas prices. Flying? One of the few somewhat easier options, when it's cheap! But in Spring/Summer? You might just as well walk across Europe. So, I'm left with the following options: A. Riding a bicycle through Europe. B. Buying a cheap scooter/moto, and ride it through Europe C. Come here and complain how bad transport is in Europe!

[@JordanandEmily]

This makes us so happy to read because we just got to south America! We literally just did an overnight bus in Colombia and the seats reclined so far! South American bus travel seems to be a class above the rest!

[@leplane_]

@@JordanandEmily Indeed, bus services there are top notch since it's often the chosen form of transportation as it's cheaper. There's lots of competition among bus companies, so every bus company is trying to compete with the other on service and equipment. It's crazy. My last bus in S.A had LED accent lights on the floor, roof, and sides. The seats looked like something out of a Land Rover lol and best of all, I had a huge amount of leg room (I'm 6ft). I didn't want to leave that bus. I wanted to live there!
