With flight prices where they are in the Easter School Holidays, it's not too late to book a reasonably priced bus trip - these haven't jumped as sharply (although, admittedly, travelling by bus is far less comfortable because of the additional length of time). If you haven't already made your Easter holiday bookings, you might be in for a surprise as flight prices increase dramatically the closer we get to the date of travel. Luckily there are affordable alternatives
to flights, like buses. Not only are bus tickets often more affordable than flights, they also cover routes that airlines traditionally don't or offer very limited services on.
Below we've rounded up the cheapest bus prices on some of the most popular routes this Easter. We compared prices from various coach operators like Citiliner, Greyhound, Eldo and Intercape available on our booking engine. Hurry to book these bus prices whilst they are still available!
