Postbus becomes Flixbus!

Postbus, or rather Flixbus now, doesn't offer a loyalty program, but in any case, bus tickets aren't expensive.

Little tip: you can find a Flixbus promo code online without much trouble, so don't hesitate to see what's out there on the internet. Plus, the company offers gift cards if you'd like to gift a trip to someone close to you!

Tictactrip can also help you find the best prices for your trips! 😊

To board your Postbus (now Flixbus), don't forget to arrive with plenty of time to spare. The company advises you to arrive at least 15 minutes before the bus departs. That way, no stress, you can board calmly and choose your seat (if possible) ;)

All you need to do to board is show your bus reservation to the driver. At Flixbus, there's no surprise quiz or obstacle course, a simple ticket is enough. Still, bring your ID card, just in case.

You won't be missing anything on these buses! Flixbus, which bought out Postbus in 2016, lets you travel comfortably thanks to:

• power outlets
• free Wi-Fi
• toilets
• comfortable seats
• etc.

There's even a catering service on board the bus! Don't forget: at the end of the trip, you'll have to get off, even if you don't want to...

Since Postbus was bought out by Flixbus, you're offered e-tickets or paper tickets. So no worries if your printer is out of ink, you can still print your bus ticket.

What hasn't changed is that you'll travel by cheap bus in total comfort!

You can cancel or change your Postbus (now Flixbus) booking up to 15 minutes before your departure.

Please note, if you decide to cancel your Postbus ticket, you'll receive a voucher, from which cancellation fees will be deducted. These fees will be waived if you cancel your ticket 30 days before departure, €1 between 14 and 30 days before departure, €3 between 3 and 14 days before departure, and €5 3 days before departure! Rules are rules, as they say...

Regarding ticket exchanges, you'll need to cancel your previous booking and then buy the trip that suits you best. Don't forget to check whether there's space available on the bus you want to book!

You'll find all the information on this page.

With Postbus, now Flixbus, you're entitled to one hand luggage item (such as a backpack or a small musical instrument) and one hold luggage item. Still, don't forget you only have 2 arms!

Please note, however, that luggage must meet specific size requirements. More information here .

Be sure to label your luggage before leaving! Yes indeed, it's important if you don't want any unpleasant surprises!

If you wish, you can also pay a surcharge to bring an extra piece of luggage. That's €3.99 at the time of booking and €6 if you forget to do it during booking! As we always say, plan ahead. 😉

With the Postbus (now Flixbus) app, you can do everything.
On the other hand, if you're not very comfortable with 2.0 technology, you can book your ticket at a Flixbus point of sale, a travel agency, or from the driver if there are still seats left on the bus (don't take too many risks though!)

Find the list of all points of sale here.

With Postbus, sorry, Flixbus, you can choose your preferred seat location, subject to availability of course. The only small downside is that you'll have to pay a small surcharge: €1.49 for a standard seat and €2.99 for a "panorama" seat (which offers the best view from the bus).

If you don't want to pay this surcharge, you'll need to be quick when boarding the bus, so try to be at the bus stop at least 15 minutes before departure. That way, you can take the seat of your choice when boarding the bus.

Still have questions? You can check the Postbus, now Flixbus, website at this address.

And if despite all this your question hasn't been answered, you can contact them via this form, via their Facebook page or by phone at +33 (0)1 76 36 04 12.

Unaccompanied minors cannot travel on board Postbus (or Flixbus) buses if they are under 16 years old.

Between 16 and 18 years old, for trips abroad, they will need parental authorization to travel alone. Not to mention their ID card or passport...

However, from 18 years old onwards, they can travel like adults, as long as they have their booking and a piece of ID.

Of course, people with reduced mobility can travel on board Postbus (or Flixbus)! However, if you're traveling with a wheelchair, we recommend contacting Customer Service 7 to 14 days before departure, to avoid any unpleasant surprises. An agent will help you find an accessible bus in complete safety, so don't worry and trust Postbus, in other words Flixbus!

You can find all the information you need on this site .

Unfortunately your little dog or cat is not allowed on board Postbus/Flixbus buses. It will need to stay home (or with a friend if you're going away for a long time).

However, your guide dog or assistance dog will always be welcome on the buses! It will also be exempt from wearing a muzzle...
