Natasha W.December 3, 2023

My flight was late and couldn't change my ticket so had to Repurchase with ADO. Your site is a bit misleading that tickets can be changed up to an hour before which is why I booked in the first place. But it is only At the ADO counter an hour before which isn't possible when someone is travelling.

Ashley S.December 2, 2023

My flight had got delayed an hour, I emailed asking to change the ticket more than 1 hour to my bus departure time. I was notified I could change is at the counter upon arrival. I trusted the agents advice however when I got there I had to buy a new ticket and they cancelled the one I purchased online
