By Matt McCann
I was invited by a friend to experience a four-night stay in a five-star hotel (for free!) in Milan, an opportunity I knew I couldn't pass up. After a quick search on Omio I’d identified a few possible flight options and vowed to book once payday came around. Ultimately, I forgot about this until way too late and when I checked again, the return flight was still available but the flight from Berlin to Milan had shot up in price. Refusing to let this chance go, I opted to take an overnight Flixbus to meet my friend in Milan.
The bus was direct between the cities and the journey lasted just under 16h. In the end, I arrived at the final destination around the same time as the friend who had flown as the bus station is very central and I was able to walk to the hotel from there.
Since it was a night bus, the lights on board were dimmed and the other passengers behaved with decorum. I slept for a long part of the way, waking up to enjoy the sunrise as we crossed the Italian Alps and only using the toilet once during the night. The bus had two decks and I had a window seat on the upper level.
The bus left from Berlin Zentraler Omnibusbahnhof (ZOB) around 9PM so it was already dark and the concourse was fairly quiet. There is a small indoor waiting area but all of the bus platforms are outdoors and partially covered.
Milano Autostazione Lampugnano bus station is right beside a metro line (Lampugnano) for anyone needing quick and easy onward travel.
My trip was around €38EUR, which was six times cheaper than the flight option. I felt safe that my bag stored under the bus was protected, especially since it was a direct route so no one got on and off whilst we slept.
This overnight bus turned a last-minute problem into a surprisingly comfortable adventure. It was a reminder that long-haul buses can be an affordable, effortless alternative when flights fall through.
