What does BLS run?

Are BLS tickets refundable?
BLS fares are refundable up to two hours before departure and can be changed at no charge, across all 16 routes we sell. The condition is shown again on the offer and once more before you pay, because it is the thing travellers most often get wrong.
What is on board an BLS service?
BLS publishes Power sockets, Wi-Fi across its fleet, on the 16 routes we sell. A median journey with this carrier runs about 26m, which is long enough for the difference between a carrier with power sockets and one without to matter.

Where these numbers come from
Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modelled number pass for a filed one.
