There’s no such thing as a universally best seat: for some people, the view from the window is important; for others, it’s the chance to get up frequently. The choice depends on the length of the journey and your personal needs.
The front of the coach
It’s easier to keep an eye on the road from the front, which can help people who get travel sick. However, you might be near the doors, hear the crew chatting and be exposed to light during stops.
The middle of the bus
In the middle section, vibrations are often less noticeable. A seat by the aisle is more comfortable for tall passengers and those who plan to get up more often.
Rear rows
There may be more noise and vibration in the rear seats. Before booking, check the seating plan, the location of the toilet, the stairs and the service areas.
A quick checklist before your journey
- By the window — for sleeping and enjoying the views
- By the aisle — for freedom of movement
- In the middle — less swaying
- Check the layout of the specific coach
