Orlando to West Palm Beach

Pros: The trip was very smooth and timely, and I like the fact that you can order food. Cons: The seats were very vertical with a flat seat and straight back. Not very ergonomic, especially for those with sustained back injuries. Tips: Eat before you travel, or bring a snack. The sandwich was good, but not $23 good!

West Palm Beach to Orlando

Pros: The trip was good my seat was spacious although there were children in the isle way crying screaming and running around it would be nice if people with children could sit in a separate coach from people without children. Cons: There should be someone around to make sure the parents keep their children quiet and keep them from jumping up and down on empty seats. Tips: Please control your children.
