4 August 2024- Vacation

Pros: I liked the availability and convenience. I was screwed over by Delta and had to find travel to NYC, literally, within 4 hours. Very simple to order tickets. This is my second time w wanderu, as I do not travel much. I haven't been disappointed. Cons: Nothing much within reason understanding the cost of upgrades, however, I tried to plug in my USB for my phone and it fell out. Tips: Order in advance. It's almost half the cost. Again, my circumstances sucked and I'm very grateful and thankful I was able to get 2 tickets on short notice. As far as working WiFi, one out of 2 buses had it.
