FlixBus announces new destinations and tickets under £5 for 5th anniversary

FlixBus, the travel tech brand, is celebrating its 5th anniversary in the UK with new destinations in time for Easter, with tickets for less than £5.

This year, the total number of destinations on the long-distance coach network will exceed 100 towns and cities for the first time.

FlixBus tickets starting from £4.49 will be available for new destinations and connections on the nationwide network.

Promotional fares are available now until 30 April for travel between 13 April and 30 June.

As of 1 April, FlixBus will launch in Doncaster, Blackpool, Halifax, Huddersfield and Milton Keynes. Daily FlixBus services between York, Heathrow Airport and central London will also be added.

New connections between Bristol Airport and Plymouth, Taunton, Cheltenham and Exeter; and Leicester and Nottingham to both Plymouth and Bristol will be available for the first time.

Airport connectivity gets a major boost: Brighton will see new services to Heathrow Airport, while direct connections to Leeds and Sheffield from Gatwick will launch.

FlixBus will also offer services between Manchester Airport and Newcastle, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Leeds, Huddersfield and Bradford.

Sarah Bartlett, PR Lead for FlixBus UK said: "Five years ago, we set out with a bold ambition to revolutionise coach travel, and with a network of over 100 destinations, it's clear passengers have fallen in love with FlixBus!”

“We're offering tickets for less than a fiver to bring even more joy to travellers using our affordable, comfortable and reliable services.”

FlixBus continues its growth in May, with Colchester, Chelmsford and Ipswich joining the network as well as more direct connections to London and Oxford from Birmingham Airport.

East Anglia's connections will also see a boost, with new services between Norwich and Heathrow, as well as to Birmingham and Plymouth.

Since launching in the UK in 2021, FlixBus has grown to a network spanning over 100 destinations across England, Scotland and Wales, with more than 250 green FlixBuses on the road by summer.

Promotional price tickets are available at www.flixbus.co.uk or via the FlixBus app.
