I had only one issue and that was the fact that there was no sign posted as to the bus stop. There were shuttle buses for the parking and Uber and Lyft signs but none for the Flyx bus. Otherwise a very enjoyable experience. The driver was even able to guide me as to another bus to the Rochester airport

The driver was very skillful at maneuvering the bus in tight places and consistently drove safely. Bus was very quiet, so was easy to sleep. Clean. On time. Friendly. Super easy to check in and check bags. Liked the lack of formality combined with professionalism. Highly recommend.

On time I didn't like that there was no way of knowing if your bus was there unless you asked the person taking tickets there was no announcement or anything on the monitor
