The bus is super comfortable, with reclining seats and leg supports better than any first class travel anywhere. I wish they had emptied the trash between trips though. They had overflowing containers inside the bus. Also, the bus left 45 minutes late. Fortunately, I left enough time between the bus arrival and my flight departure from El Calafate. That didn’t happen with my bus on the other direction. Despite that, I would take it again. Very comfortable ride.
