No weaknessesWhen I got in, the service took me to my seat. I went straight to the toilet because I couldn't take it anymore, and I saw that everything was very clean and hygienic. I charged my mobile phone and connected to the wifi. You could reserve your seat and you didn't have to change. So the price-quality ratio is balanced.
Advantages

DelayI've always had good experiences with Flixbus so far, but unfortunately not this time. The bus was almost half an hour late, which cost me my connecting train in Frankfurt. As DB and Flixbus don't work together, I wasn't entitled to a replacement. Very annoying. Apart from that, however, I can't complain. It was clean, there was wifi and electricity and regular breaks.
