WHY BUS TRAVEL IS A BETTER OPTION THAN AIR TRAVEL

On the surface, modern travel is all about speed and convenience. Commercial flights can get you from point A to point B in a fraction of the time it takes to drive. Air travel rewards our culture of instant gratification and impatience. But in this hyper connected, fast-paced world, we can miss out on a lot while we rush from destination to destination. The Atlantic’s Julie Beck suggests bus travel is the only way to truly enjoy big trips:

“It’s cheaper. You can bring liquids. There’s no security. You just get on, and get off,” she writes. But these simple benefits are just the tip of the iceberg.

Cheaper cost

It’s true—the cost of a single bus ticket is much cheaper than a plane ticket. But the real benefit comes from group travel. The more people you book for a flight, the more your price climbs. With a charter bus rental, you’re paying a fee for the bus, whether there’s 50 people onboard or 10. Thus, the more people you add to the group, the less each individual pays.

More storage space

One of the biggest headaches of air travel is finding space for your carry-on. If you aren’t one of the first people to board, you have to shove your bag under your seat or store it several rows behind your assigned seat. Charter buses provide a massive amount of storage both in the undercarriage and onboard.

Comfort

Unless you’re flying first or business class, you’ll be squished between other passengers and have little room for your legs. You spend your entire flight cramped and uncomfortable. Bus travel offers you extra leg room and comfortable, reclining seats.

Same time

When we compare travel times for bus and plane routes, bus travel has the longest time. But when you factor in air travel’s check-in process, security checkpoints, boarding, and luggage retrieval at your destination, you aren’t really saving time. Why not spend that time in comfort?
