IconA simple booking on the online portal

IconA good price for the ticket
Disadvantages
IconI see no weaknesses
I think it's great that you can find a relatively cheap price for the tickets even if you book at short notice. The booking is easy to make on the online portal and the digital bus ticket only has to be shown with the mobile phone when starting the journey. The bus left according to schedule and arrived on time without rushing. I always find the bus drivers friendly and well trained and have never felt that anyone drove carelessly. Travelling by bus is stress-free and I enjoy it every time. There is hardly any noise on the bus and I arrive relaxed at my destination. I find the service and value for money fabulous and highly recommend the bus journey.

I had a great trip with the bus from Hamburg to Kiel. Everything went smoothly and the bus left on time and arrived in Kiel without delay. The journey was quiet and relaxed. No noise or noisy passengers. I found the bus driver very friendly and accommodating. He waited with me on arrival until I was picked up. The whole trip was a great experience and with the reasonable prices, for me the best option to travel. The bus was clean and well ventilated. The toilet was also freshly cleaned. I have nothing to complain about and will take the bus again and again.

I experienced an almost perfect bus journey on the FlixBus from Hamburg to Kiel. With the great price and the amazingly short journey time of just one and a half hours, FlixBus is a really competitive alternative to the car or the ICE. The passenger density was also really pleasant and everyone could take a seat without having to sit next to a stranger, which is often a big plus, especially for people travelling alone.

The FlixBus journey from Hamburg to Kiel is one of my favourites. I have travelled this route many times and rarely or never had any problems with traffic, i.e. we always arrived in Kiel on time. The capacity utilisation was also always limited and you never had the feeling of a completely overcrowded bus. Compared to the train, you can really save a lot here and you also get really great facilities inside the bus and a friendly and committed bus driver.

One early morning in February, I travelled to Kiel on the beautiful Baltic Sea. The bus journey was very pleasant and went by quickly, the staff were very nice and friendly and the bus driver cracked a few nice jokes. The price was also great and you can arrive in Kiel nice and relaxed.
