Flixbus - tolerance for heavy bags?
 
Flixbus advertises that they allow 2 x 15 kg of luggage, with the possibility of prebooking and paying for space for a third bag of the same maximum weight. Does anybody have any experience of whether they actually weigh the bags or whether they are tolerant of overweight ones?

Is it Flixbus still? I thought everything was MeinFernBus now. Anyway, their attendants load the bags in the hold as you hand it to them. So it will be based on their "guestimate". Also, I thought that a third bag for the hold incurred the extra charge, but it is not something they guarantee to accomodate. That it's all based on the available hold capacity after the other passengers' bags are loaded.

Nomaly there is nothing wo check the weight. You pay only extra for Additional luggage.
Have some Coints allready (1€/ 2€)!

And the Toilette dont work maybe on your trip so be prepared.

Apparently, the new name is Meinfernbus Flixbus. Catchy, isn't it?

Hmmm... if there is no functioning toilet, they will have to stop for a break, no?

Mostly it costs 70 cnts, 50 Cents is a voucher for any participating shop. Some toilets are free, but of course tips are expected if itīs clean. Shoudnīt be a big issue. Toilets in busses arenīt too much fun. I would pay happy for most toilets at the highwas instead of using the one in the bus......

The Point is when the Bus offer an Toilette (who is extreme Small...) the must work.
If the dont do it the Company have to fix it and/ or take care of some similar (like pay the WC on a Highway...).

Agree! Often the toilet works perfectly well, but the driver refuses to let people use it. They donīt like to clean it....
