Pros: I love the ease of booking, email confirmation all smooth transaction. Cons: Not that iw was Wanderu's fault but my 4hour layover in Sacramento turned into an 11hr layover. That was very inconvenient. Tips: On my return trip I did bring a small seat cushion and that made my trip even more comfy.
