Can I take pets on board?
No. Pet carriage is prohibited on Lux Express Group buses.
Can I choose seat number when buying the ticket?
If buying ticket from our sales office then sales consultant can give You the seat number that You have chosen. As the busses are different and seatplans are different then seat location in the bus might differ from the seat location on the seating plan.
Is there any logic behind the locations of the seats in the bus and are some seats better than other seats?
In our buses (exept Lux Express Special) all odd numbered seats are window seats and all eaven numbered seats are aisle seats.
According to location of the seats in different buses the space between seats is wider (more legroom) and the ability to change the position of the backrest is also different.
Is any seat better than other, that only depends on the person and his expetations.
