A journey by coach can be much more enjoyable when you choose your seat in advance. Whether you prefer looking at the scenery, sleeping peacefully, or travelling together with family and friends, choosing the right seat on the coach can make a real difference.
At Alverstur, we recommend thinking about how you would like to spend your journey before selecting your seat.
Want to enjoy the scenery? Choose a window seat
Window seats are ideal for those who enjoy travelling and want to admire the landscapes along the route.
They are a good choice if you:
- enjoy watching cities and scenery;
- want to take photos during the journey;
- prefer to lean against the window while sleeping;
- are travelling alone and would like a more personal space.
On longer routes, a window seat can turn the journey into an enjoyable part of the trip rather than simply time spent travelling between two destinations.
Prefer freedom of movement? Choose an aisle seat
If you like getting up frequently, going to the toilet, or moving around without disturbing the person next to you, an aisle seat may be the right choice.
It is especially suitable for:
- travellers who get up frequently;
- people who prefer easy access to the aisle;
- night travellers;
- those who feel more comfortable with a little extra freedom of movement.
Want to sleep during the journey?
For evening or night journeys, comfort becomes especially important.
If you plan to sleep, consider choosing a seat where you can rest comfortably, use a travel pillow, and minimise interruptions.
A small tip: prepare a travel pillow, an eye mask and headphones in advance. This can make your journey much more relaxing.
Travelling with family or friends?
If you are travelling as a group, choosing seats together is one of the most important things to consider.
When booking your tickets, try to select seats that are close together or on the same row. This allows you to talk, help each other with luggage and enjoy the journey together from the very beginning.
For larger groups, we recommend booking in advance, especially during busy periods such as holidays, weekends, the beginning of the academic year or other peak travel periods.
Are you a student?
For students, travelling by coach can become a regular part of everyday life: Chișinău – Bucharest, Chișinău – Iași or other destinations in Romania.
If you travel frequently, it is worth choosing a seat that you find comfortable and prefer. And if you book your ticket online in advance, you have a better chance of finding the seat you want.
Travelling with lots of luggage?
If you have several pieces of luggage, it is a good idea to arrive at the coach early. This gives you enough time to store your luggage without rushing and take your seat before departure.
Remember: your luggage should be properly prepared for the journey, while the things you may need during the trip should be kept in your hand luggage.
You can keep the following in your hand luggage:
- documents;
- phone and charger;
- headphones;
- water;
- personal medication;
- valuables;
- anything else you may need during the journey.
Travelling in the evening? Think about comfort
For evening departures, many passengers prefer to sleep during the journey. In this case, seat comfort may be more important than the view.
If you want to rest, prepare everything you need in advance and choose a seat where you feel comfortable.
A good journey doesn't start when you reach your destination. It starts the moment you step onto the coach.
Book your preferred seat in advance
During busy periods, the most popular seats can fill up quickly. Therefore, if you have a clear preference — window, aisle, seats together for family or friends — we recommend booking as early as possible.
By booking online at www.alverstur.md, you can plan your journey more easily and check the available options for your selected route.
The right seat is part of the journey
There is no single “best seat” on a coach. There is the right seat for you.
For some people, it means a window and beautiful scenery. For others, it means an aisle seat and freedom of movement. For a family, it means sitting together, while for a student it may simply mean a comfortable journey home.
Whatever your choice, the important thing is to travel comfortably, safely and with your destination in mind.
Choose your seat, pack your bags and hit the road with Alverstur!
