FlixBus: Travel across Europe on a budget with the German company

FlixBus opens sales for the autumn-winter season and strengthens its European routes

Good news for travellers: FlixBus is releasing new seats for the coming months and adjusting its schedules on several high-demand routes. On the programme: more frequencies during peak periods, more overnight connections and reactivated seasonal links to popular European destinations.

Tickets are already available with dynamic pricing: book early to get the best prices and easily compare options in real time on Tictactrip.

Travellers with reduced mobility: folding wheelchairs and assistance dogs allowed (depending on route). To get assistance, notify the operator in advance (recommended notice period stated on the help page).

Locate your bus stop and check bus punctuality before departure. Present your ticket (digital accepted) when boarding.

For a stress-free trip, it's strongly recommended to arrive at least 30 minutes before your FlixBus departs.

Boarding is quick and simple: show your booking to the driver, and you're ready to go!

Don't forget to bring a form of ID, as it may be requested in the event of a check.

Do you prefer a window seat or an aisle seat?

Did you know that a FlixBus journey from Paris to Lyon emits 3.5 times less CO2 per passenger than the same trip by car?

Coaches are one of the least emitting long-distance modes of transport. Flix publishes an ESG report and offers a climate contribution; ~1.5 MtCO₂ avoided in 2024.

What's more, FlixBus buses are particularly fuel-efficient and emit a very low volume of greenhouse gases, making them an eco-friendly option for your travels.

You even have the option to offset the climate impact of your trip at booking by opting for an eco-friendly donation.

FlixBus France doesn't stop there: it's rolling out more and more electric bus routes!
