Flixbus

Three of us took FlixBus from Maastricht to Paris and back, and both trips had… interesting driver energy. On the way to Paris, the driver seemed irritated from the start. The whole 8-hour ride had basically one 10-minute stop at a small gas station. Later he took a 20-minute...

Taking a FlixBus from Amsterdam to EuroAirport on March 18, leaving at 9:00 PM and arriving around 8:00 AM. The original ticket is for EuroAirport, but the plan was actually to get off one stop later at Basel SBB. Tried changing it in the app but it keeps showing an error. Since...

Trying to change my FlixBus ticket to a later date, but running into a weird issue during the rebooking process. The new ticket is actually cheaper than my original one, but I still have to pay about $20 just to change it. The bigger problem is that when I try to confirm the...

Had a trip booked from Ottawa to Mississauga back in January and the whole thing turned into a mess. Waited at the Ottawa VIA Rail station for hours with several other passengers for the same bus. The screens kept showing the route as “on route” but the bus never showed up at...

Booked a 4:40pm bus, got there at 4:00. Around 4:48 they send a notice saying it’s 12 minutes late. Everyone keeps waiting. By 5:30 there’s still no bus, so people start calling support. Support claims the driver came at 4:44 and nobody was there. Meanwhile multiple passengers...

Planning to cross from Windsor to Detroit and was thinking of bringing homemade ground chicken spring rolls plus some hot food from an Asian grocery store. Also some packaged snacks. What are the chances US border will confiscate it? I know meat can be tricky, especially...

Curious what people think about this. We were on a FlixBus from Glasgow to Aviemore and a guy who got on at Perth immediately reclined his seat all the way back. It basically pinned my legs since my seat didn’t recline because the toilet was behind me. He didn’t ask, didn’t say...

My girlfriend and I had our suitcases stolen from the luggage hold on a Ljubljana to Milan FlixBus (14/02). We filed a police report in Milan and submitted the official FlixBus lost and found form, but now we feel stuck. Not sure what the next step is or how realistic...

Trying to select a seat for an upcoming trip and the website just will not work. I pick a seat, hit confirm, and nothing happens. Tried the app, different browsers, different devices. Same issue every time. Chat support told me they cannot modify bookings and are only there to...

I was on a FlixBus in northern Italy, about 5–7:30pm. Front of the bus wasn’t crowded so I took a phone call. No speaker, not shouting, just normal volume. The conductor was chatting with other passengers and the driver up front and even sat near me for a while with zero issues....

That’s so frustrating, especially right before a long flight. It really does sound like someone grabbed yours by mistake if there was a nearly identical suitcase left behind. Erdberg is a busy stop and people rush off quickly. You did the right thing by leaving the other bag...

For £4 each for 9 people, I totally get the temptation. On paper, arriving 9:30am for a 1pm flight is loads of time. Even your 11am “latest arrival” target still gives you a decent cushion. The only real risk is London traffic. Stratford to Gatwick can be smooth… or it can...

First: breathe. This is fixable more often than you think. FlixBus lost luggage feels hopeless because the form looks like it goes into a black hole, but a lot of bags do get recovered. The key is speed and being specific. A few realistic steps: Don’t rely on just one form....

That’s such a sick feeling. Especially when it’s not just clothes but sentimental stuff in there. First thing, don’t panic yet. Two weeks feels long, but with bus companies it can genuinely take time because bags often get offloaded at random depots and sit there until someone...

I’ve been going from Rotterdam to Kerkrade pretty regularly lately. Usually get off in Aachen and grab a local bus from there. Train return would cost me around €130. FlixBus is about €30 return. That difference is massive, especially when you’re on a tight budget. Honestly I...

Doing Manchester Shudehill to London Victoria next week on the night bus (23:59 to 06:15). First time on FlixBus and first time taking a coach alone, so slightly nervous. If you’ve done this route before, how are the stops? Do you have to get off or does everyone stay on? Is it...

I’m looking at taking a FlixBus from Switzerland to Rome and it’s showing around a 14 hour trip. I’ve never done a bus ride that long before. For anyone who’s done something similar, how does it usually work? Is it one long ride or lots of short stops? Do they stop for food or...

Looking for advice or similar experiences. My luggage was stolen from the bus hold on a FlixBus trip from Brussels to Paris. The bus stopped in Lille and I’m pretty sure it happened there. I filed a claim with FlixBus, but they replied saying they have no record of my luggage,...

On Jan 6, 2026, I was on a FlixBus from Frankfurt to Amsterdam. The driver stopped at a gas station near the border and said we had a break, but didn’t say for how long. My friend and I went to the restroom and left our two backpacks on our seats. When we came back, the bus was...

Was booking Heathrow to Bristol through Busbud. Two options came up: National Express at £79 and FlixBus at £29 for two passengers. Obviously picked Flix. Got to checkout, selected Google Pay, and suddenly the price jumps to £56. Thought maybe I missed something and it was per...

My girlfriend was traveling from Berlin airport to Dresden last week, only two stops. When she got off and went to grab her suitcase from the luggage hold, it was gone. The driver just told her to file a report on the website, which she did, but there’s been zero follow-up so...

Was anyone else on FlixBus N803 from Amsterdam to Paris that got stuck on the A1 for what felt like forever because of snow, traffic, and protests? I was one of the four passengers who gave up after about five hours. I had a Lisbon connection at 11:30 and knew it was already a...
