Long-distance coaches offer 'semi-cama' (reclining) and 'cama' (fully reclining) seats. 'Cama' is more comfortable for overnight journeys but also more expensive. Consider your budget and comfort needs.
Always double-check your ticket for the exact departure terminal and platform. Bus stations can be large, and confirming this detail will prevent last-minute confusion or missing your bus.
For longer trips, especially those involving multiple modes of transport, travel insurance can offer peace of mind against unexpected delays, cancellations, or lost luggage.
While some coaches offer refreshments, it's always a good idea to bring your own snacks and water for the long journey. This ensures you stay comfortable and hydrated throughout.
