TemperatureI travelled with FlixBus in the morning and was very satisfied with the journey overall. The seats were comfortable and offered sufficient comfort even on longer journeys. I was particularly pleased with the cleanliness of the bus - everything made a neat impression. The wifi was stable, so I was able to wifi without any problems during the journey. The bus arrived on time and the price was also very reasonable compared to other means of transport. The only downside was the temperature in the bus, which was a little too cool in places. Unfortunately, the temperature was not regulated well enough, but apart from that the journey was great!

Uncomfortable seatsI found my bus journey from Stuttgart to Catania with FlixBus to be mostly pleasant. I particularly appreciated the cleanliness of the bus and the hygienic toilets, which were regularly serviced. The staff were always friendly and helpful, which made me feel comfortable en route. Despite the long journey time, the bus arrived surprisingly punctually, which I found very positive. The noise level was pleasantly low, so I was able to relax and even sleep a little. The breaks were well organised and well communicated, which made the long journey more bearable. The only thing I didn't find particularly comfortable were the seats, which became a little uncomfortable over time. Nevertheless, I would recommend the journey, especially for people who are flexible and value good value for money.

PunctualityOverall, my journey with FlixBus was very pleasant and comfortable. The staff were friendly and always helpful, which made for a relaxed atmosphere. I also liked the fair price, the quiet volume during the journey and the practical charging facilities for my mobile phone and laptop. The cleanliness of the bus and the generous legroom also made the journey very comfortable. One small disadvantage, however, was that the bus didn't leave quite on time, which delayed the arrival a little. Nevertheless, I would recommend this connection overall.
