The dressed up bus - cheap travel in style

Picture this: you are reclining in a spacious, comfortable chair, deciding if you remember enough German from school to make an effort to read the newspaper that was handed out to you at departure. The stewardess comes up to you, and asks what you would like to drink. You ask for a hot chocolate, but then change your mind to a cappuccino-maybe the caffeine buzz will get your German going-and she smiles and walks briskly down the aisle to fill your order. Meanwhile, you turn to gaze out your enormous, plasma TV-sized window at the rolling meadows of the Austrian countryside. Your drink has arrived and you pull down your tray from the back of the seat in front of you and relax as your favorite Hugh Grant movie starts to play on the TV screens that have been lowered from the ceiling. When it’s over, you will probably get out your laptop and use the free wi-fi to find a good German-English dictionary. What could be better than this leisurely travel? How about knowing that you paid only 20 pounds for a roundtrip ticket?

No, you’re not on an airplane, you are on a Student Agency bus from Prague to Vienna, but that doesn’t mean you had to dig out your faded uni ID and pull a hat down over your head.At this Prague-based budget travel agency, 10 to 20 percent discounts are given to students under the age of 26, but anyone can travel at the full price, which is usually already incredibly low. Though the website has limited sections in English (flights, but not bus deals, are available in English), you can call the Prague office at +420.800.100.300 or if you are already in Prague, visit them at JeДЌnГЎ 37, 120 00, Prague 2, to speak with their enthusiastic and helpful travel agents. Student Agency travels to many popular Western and Central European destinations by bus (yes, even a 24-hour, 25 pound journey to London from Prague), and to a huge variety of international locations by air. The flight deals are not always competitive in comparison to low budget airlines, and usually fill up very quickly, especially around the holidays, so plan ahead.
