bus from Santiago back to Paris

[Anna Russell]

I am just trying to book my return bus ticket from Santiago back to Paris and fluked across Flixbus which is coming up at only 60 Euros per person - sounds too good to be true. Their reviews seem to be similar to Alsa and Eurolines and am wondering if anyone has any firsthand experience. Thank you.

I don't have experience with travelling back by bus but you know that Vueling arilines has direct flights to Paris for around 40 € ?

Thank you and I do know about Vueling. However for my travel date the airfare works out to $358 Cdn or just over 300 Euros per person. After living frugally on the Camino I cannot justify this amount.

Ouch yes that is expensive.

SdC to Paris is at least a 14-15 hour bus ride. Never went with Flexibus but I do know that traveling with Alsa means very few and very far between pit stops. A bladder the size of a watermelon helps, perhaps prepare something to eat to take on the bus but watch the liquids, it may be a long time before relief!

I traveled with Flixbus several times, they are fine! And yes, if booked early enough, they tend to be very cheap. Buen Camino, SY

Scruffy1 ....I have travelled a few times on Alsa coaches and they always had toilets on board, so not a problem for those of us with small bladders .
I have never travelled from Santiago to Paris with them but i assume all their long distance coaches have the same standards of comfort.

Thank you everyone. I managed to book a direct coach for 59.8 Euros!

All the Alsa and Flixbuses I have traveled with over the last years had on board toilets ;-)
Buen Camino, SY
