Anyone who backpacked across Europe in the 20s probably recognises FlixBus – you know, that obnoxiously bright green bus that hooks you up with cheap rides between all the Euro-summer hotspots. I, for one, once took a ten-hour overnight journey from Croatia to Slovenia to save a few bucks – and was pleasantly surprised by just how smooth and comfy it was.
If you’re a fellow FlixBus fan, you’ll be happy to hear the budget coach giant is celebrating one year in Australia with seats starting from $10 on direct trips across all East Coast routes, including:
- Sydney to Brisbane
- Sydney to Canberra
- Sydney to Melbourne
- Brisbane to Bundaberg
- Bundaberg to Cairns
- Parramatta to Canberra
The sale is live now and runs until November 23 – for travel until April 30, 2027 (some blackout periods apply). No discount codes are needed – travellers can just go ahead and book through the website or app.
Although FlixBus is known for its budget-friendly fares, the experience is anything but basic. Onboard, passengers can enjoy free Wi-Fi, power outlets, reclining seats, toilets and a generous luggage allowance – including one seven-kilogram carry-on item and two pieces of stowed luggage, up to 20 kilograms each. Plus, you can feel good knowing you’re opting for a more sustainable method of travel, with the bus ride from Sydney to Melbourne cutting an individual’s carbon footprint by around 90 per cent compared with flying.
