Are seats allocated on Scandinavia Express buses?
Not generally, but specific seats can be requested at the time of reservation. Otherwise seating is first come, first serve. Although all buses have rows of four seats across, seat numbering varies according to the bus type. Some have rows marked numerically from the front of the bus with seats marked a, b, c, d across (left to right facing the front). Other buses have only seat numbers starting front left.


Are reservations required for travel
?
Yes but tickets have to be purchased three days in advance or the reservation will be cancelled. Any unreserved seats left will available an hour prior to departure on a first-come, first-served basis.


Why are reservations required?

Most travellers plan their trips in advance and want to be assured of getting to their destination on specific dates. Operating a reservations system provides that assurance and allows Scandinavia Express to plan for those periods when excess capacity may be required.


Is smoking allowed on board?

No. In accordance with legal requirements governing public transportation and for the benefit of most of our passengers, smoking is not permitted on Scandinavia Express busses. Smokers are requested to disembark the bus at designated stops during the journey.


Are meals provided on board?

No. Meals are not provided, though there are regular meal stops on extended routes.


Are food and drink allowed on board?

Yes. Food and non-alcoholic beverages may be carried on board for personal consumption. However Scandinavia Express does supply a variety of sweets, biscuits, water and soft drinks free of charge during the journey.

Radios, laptops and other electronic items may be carried on board, provided that they do not disturb fellow passengers and that headphones are used. (Please note that external power outlets are NOT available on Scandinavia Express buses.)


Can I place my child in a child safety seat?
Customers are welcome to use child safety seats on Scandinavia Express coaches. You should ensure that your child seat has been approved for use in a motor vehicle, and is used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Although seat lap belts are installed in our coaches and can be used to secure the child seat, it is your responsibility to secure the child seat to the bus seat with strapping or webbing that is approved by the child seat manufacturer. You are responsible for providing the strapping or the webbing. There are no seat mountings in the coaches to attach shoulder belt/harness.


Are pets allowed on board?

No dogs, cats, birds, or other animals will be transported. However, with prior approval, a service animal, trained for the purpose of accompanying a disabled person, will be permitted to travel with the disabled person at no additional charge.


Are pillows and blankets available for overnight travel?

No, but you are welcome to bring your own within your carry-on luggage.


Do the buses show movies on board?

Yes. Scandinavia Express buses have fitted TV video sets and one or more videos will be shown during the journey. These movies are generally for all ages or PG rated.
