I missed my flight because Megabus arrived too late!

On Tuesday November 6 I booked a bus ticket to go from Gainesville to Orlando at 1:45 pm. I booked this trip because the bus would arrive in Orlando at 3:45 pm, so I would have enough time before my flight to Washington at 6:15 pm from Orlando Airport.

I was planning to take an Uber from 902 N Semoran Blv, Orlando to the Airport, which would take no more than 30 minutes. This means I would be at the Airport at least 2 hours in advance before my flight would leave. I really thought this out, because I donโ€™t (and I think nobody does) wanted to miss my flight. I planned a weekend Washington to meet with my friends and see the city.

However, instead of being almost in Washington now, I am still in Orlando because I missed my flight! How could this happen? Well, because Megabus arrived in Gainesville at 2:45 pm (so 1 hour too late!) and it left Gainesville at 3 pm. Furthermore, when I booked the Megabus ticket, the mail mentioned that the trip would be 2 hours (since I would arrive in Orlando at 3:45 pm).

We arrived in Orlando at 5:15 pm. This is not that big of a difference, but when you leave a place around 3 and you will arrive at the other place two hours later, it means that the bus will get stuck in the traffic because it is rush hour (5 pm). I ordered an Uber, who did the best he could do, but because it was rush hour he got stuck in the traffic as well. As a consequence I arrived at Orlando Airport at 6 pm, which is 15 minutes before my flight.

15 minutes!!! So, there was no way I could catch that plane.

Reason of review: Bad quality.

Monetary Loss: $215.

Preferred solution: Full refund.

Location: 700 SE 3rd St, Gainesville, FL 32601, USA
