I paid extra to reserve seat 6D, but when I boarded the bus, the seat didn’t even exist. The numbering jumped from 5 to 10, and there was no proper seating layout matching the booking. When I asked the driver, he casually said that “all seats are booked” and told me to just sit anywhere and keep changing seats at every stop depending on availability and I had to switch seats 5 times in every stop when someone says they have booked the seat. For a 7-hour journey, this is completely unacceptable. What’s the point of paying for a reserved seat if the system is meaningless? This shows a serious lack of coordination between booking and actual operations. Passengers shouldn’t have to fight for seats or keep moving throughout the journey. This was stressful, uncomfortable, and poorly managed. I would not trust FlixBus again for long-distance travel unless they fix these basic issues. The worst part is when I asked for compensation they refused saying there was no delay. Very worst service in UK. Govt should ban this travel provider. Get out of UK you useless flixbus. I totally hate this experience and I will never ever travel with this bus in my lifetime.
