I had gotten a change of time and location from Flix . The bus went to the old pick up location (approx a block away). Luckily another passenger saw it arrive. So we had to walk with luggage to the bus, not far, but I have limited mobility. No apology from the bus driver who said he was not informed of the change. Then, no WiFi available. No help removing bags from underneath. ( which would be appreciated by a Sr). My first experience with Flix and likely my last.

I could see flying J from up the block at traffic light at 2:19. No bus in sight. Parked and asked and bus apparently left earlier. So missed my ride.

The ride was fine, but I thought my destination was the Edmonton airport. That’s what the ticket indicated before I read the address under it. Had to get a cab to arrivals. Was a close call to missing our flight.

The trip was okay, the problem is that we were not taken to YEG airport, we were dropped off at the Petro Canada gas station about a mile away and were left to find our own way from there to the airport. That is not how the trip was advertised.

Excellent service and comfortable. The only issue was one loud and unruly passenger that reeked of alcohol, scaring a young boy. He came and sat by me for a few minutes thinking I was someone else and made awkward conversation making me uncomfortable. I believe he was drinking on the drive.
