Eurobros, do any of you have experiences of international trips on Flixbus? I have some spare money and I wanted to solo-travel to one or two cities in Europe, but I have no car and my budget is limited. Flixbus is pretty cheap and I often use it for national trips, but sometimes it's really unreliable with prices, and international trips are scarce. Does any of you have some experiences to share/tips? Are there cheaper/more reliable ways to travel to suggest?

Not with flixbus but other bus companies. You can get super deals but any ride longer than 4h is hell and punctuality is shit (traffic etc).
You can always check

The price might look fantastic but you can get around for about the same money using budget airlines or book trains early.

Long rides aren't a problem as long as I don't pay much, I survived 22 straight hours so I think I'll be fine. I'll look for trains but I'm not confident, and I will trust the devil before I trust budget airlines deals.
Vienna to Munich was boring and squashed surrounded by dirty Eastern Europeans. Every seat taken and no amenities that I recall, but it was only 6 hours so who cares.
Slept in one of these for 15 hours and woke up with the worst neck pain of my life, never feelt anything close to it man... Ended up crippled for a week on a two week holiday. Its better just to pay the extra 30euros for a train. Also the toilet door didn't have a lock i suppose its so you rather not shit on the bus but while the bus was moving the toilet door opend all the time also so you couldnt piss comfortably without holding the door wich sucked for a 15hours trip

>LuxExpress
I've used all of these and they have all been fine, except for LuxExpress, which was quite late.
Although the Ecolines bus was full of Russians (coming from the Baltics and headed for Germany, got it in Warsaw) which meant it was still quite bad.

The buses aren't bad but I much rather travel by train, but I have money so it's not a problem
