Travel companions, planning that trip to Europe and thinking about taking a few trips on Flixbus?
When planning a trip, we think about traveling by train or plane, but the reality is that bus is often cheaper or covers routes that other transportation options can’t. Let’s tell you about our experience.
We have used Flixbus between Germany and Poland, more specifically between Berlin and Poznan, and we will tell you how it turned out.
The prices this company offers are often very cheap, and it covers many routes within Europe, so it was a decision we made quickly.

It includes one checked bag and one carry-on bag, so our suitcases were safe and sound. If you need to add luggage, you can also do so online for a fee.
Tickets can be purchased online in advance. Schedule changes are flexible.
The Flixbus departure from Berlin was from the Südkreuz terminal to the Poznan terminal. In Berlin, there are several bus options, so choose the one that’s most convenient for you.
When the bus arrives, you will load your luggage into the hold yourself. If you wish, you can identify it in advance, as we did.
The permitted weight is 20 kg for a large suitcase and 7 kg for a small one. They are flexible, or at least they were in our case, but just in case, keep in mind the weight, as well as the dimensions, are specified on the website.
The journeys were smooth and on time. This was our experience, and you should always take precautions in case you are delayed, especially if you are already heading to the airport to return, as was our case on the way back.
We returned from Poznan directly to Berlin Brandenburg Airport, which was very convenient for us to catch our return flight. As I was saying, just in case, we decided to travel early in the morning, and the flight wasn’t scheduled to leave until the afternoon. It arrived on time, very punctually, so we waited inside the airport for that time, but… better safe than sorry.
They have an app where you can store your tickets and also check schedules and make changes to them, as well as purchase new ones.
In short, the experience was positive and we will definitely use them again.
