Flixbus Exeter Gatwick recent customer reviews

I enjoyed Exeter to Bristol as the bus wasn’t that busy and I had some space. From Bristol to Gatwick, it was a very busy bus. No issue other then the person I was sitting next to appeared to have half her luggage on her lap and also was quite a large person. I’m not small either, so my backside was half way in the aisle for the journey till after Heathrow, when I could move. Busses are lush though, Wi-Fi, aircon, charging points, re lying seats etc. I’ll just have to book two seats next time
