Travel at<strong> attractive prices <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourlondres.fr\/en\/cities-around-london\/\">around London.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Comfortable seating <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The megabuses don't offer the luxury of other companies, but the seats are fairly standard and <strong>comfortable enough for a few hours.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Megabus Gold used to have much more comfortable seats (and generally more luxurious service), but unfortunately it no longer runs.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc158260888\"><\/a><strong>Does the service offer a Wi-Fi connection?<\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, the Megabus has Wi-Fi, but I wouldn't count on it working!<\/p>\n<p>You will probably find that you cannot <strong>connect for about an hour.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you don't have mobile data, it's just enough to check your messages or e-mails, but don't expect to do much more with this Wi-Fi connection.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc158260889\"><\/a><strong>How to take the London Megabus<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you know a little more about this service, let me explain how to <strong>book your ticket and take your bus<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Book your bus tickets<\/h3>\n<p>You can book bus tickets online at <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.megabus.com\/\">Megabus.co.uk<\/a>. Don't book with third-party suppliers, as they won't offer you the best value in seating.<\/p>\n<p>Simply go to the main home page and use the search functions to find your place.<\/p>\n<p>You can use their seat selection tool to guarantee your seats, <strong>but it will cost you an extra \u00a31 to \u00a33 per journey.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Megabus in London: download your ticket<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Once you have completed the online booking process, you should receive an e-mail. Make sure you have downloaded your booking confirmation and printed it or saved it somewhere on your phone.<\/p>\n<p>You usually only need the passenger's number, but<strong> it's best to save everything on your phone just in case.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Check the starting point<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Megabus departure points are not always the city's main bus station. Before you set off, I advise you to check your departure point carefully.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Megabus in London: arrive early<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Megabuses can be late. But it's still worth it <strong>to arrive 20 minutes before departure.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some Megabuses start boarding 15 minutes before departure, so arriving early means you can find a good seat and relax before your journey!<\/p>\n<p>You can't board the next bus if you miss it: your ticket<strong> is only valid for your reserved Megabus.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc158260890\"><\/a><strong>Where Megabus goes<\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For me, one of the biggest drawbacks of Megabus is that it doesn't go everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are many places where it stops, including some international destinations!<\/p>\n<p>London's Megabus is an economical way to get around the city.
