Departure only at the airportI am very satisfied with my journey from Frankfurt (airport) to Düsseldorf. The bus arrived on time according to the timetable and the capacity utilisation was relatively low. I found it remarkable that the journey could be completed in under 3 hours. I felt very comfortable in my seat and had enough space as well as generally good comfort. The only thing I found a pity was that the bus only runs from Frankfurt Airport and doesn't have a stop in the city centre. For me, however, this was no reason to deduct points. I was completely satisfied and would definitely book the journey again.

ComfortAir conditioningCleanlinessPunctualityThe FlixBus journey from Frankfurt to Düsseldorf after my business trip in Spain was surprisingly relaxed. Although I was quite tired from the journey, I was pleasantly surprised by the comfort on board. The seats were comfortable enough to take the edge off the tiredness and the air conditioning was pleasantly quiet. It was quiet during the journey, which allowed me to briefly close my eyes and recharge my batteries. The entire bus was clean. The organisation of the breaks was well thought out and the breaks were not too long, so the journey went quickly. All in all, it was the perfect way for me to return home relaxed after a strenuous day. Everything ran on time.
