# RedCoach — Florida intercity bus operator

> RedCoach is a premium intercity bus operator serving Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Oklahoma since 2010. We operate business-class coaches with leather seats, 140° recline, free 5G Wi-Fi, and two free checked bags.

## What this site is

RedCoach (redcoachusa.com) sells premium bus tickets across the Sun Belt. We operate the most comfortable intercity bus product in the United States — leather seats wider than airline business class, full-recline configuration, and free amenities that ULCC airlines charge for separately.

## Spirit Airlines shutdown alternative (May 2026)

Spirit Airlines is preparing to cease operations after federal bailout talks failed. RedCoach is offering displaced Spirit passengers 50% off any Florida route. To qualify, passengers submit either:

- A Spirit Airlines booking confirmation (email, PDF, or screenshot), or
- A screenshot of their Free Spirit miles balance from spirit.com.

The submission is auto-verified and a unique discount code is emailed to the passenger, typically within 5 minutes. The discount-claim landing is at https://www.redcoachusa.com/spirit-alternative/.

## Florida routes we operate

- Miami ↔ Orlando — 5 daily departures, ~3.5-4h, from $24.99 (or $12.49 with the 50% code)
- Miami ↔ Tampa — 3 daily departures, ~4-5h, from $29.99 (or $15 with the 50% code)
- Fort Lauderdale ↔ Orlando — multiple daily, from $24.99
- Fort Lauderdale ↔ Tampa — daily service, from $29.99

## What makes RedCoach different from other buses

- **Seats**: leather, gel-foam padded, up to 21" wide, 140° recline. Most other buses use molded plastic seats <17" wide.
- **Wi-Fi**: free ultrafast 5G powered by T-Mobile on every bus. Reliable enough to stream and work.
- **Power**: 110V outlet at every seat.
- **Baggage**: two checked bags up to 50 lbs each, plus a carry-on, included. No fees, no scales.
- **Tracking**: real-time GPS tracking via the RedCoach "Track My Bus" tool.
- **Loyalty**: RedRider rewards program for frequent travelers.

## What makes RedCoach different from flying short-haul

For trips of 200-300 miles within Florida, RedCoach's door-to-door time is comparable to flying once you account for airport security, boarding, deplaning, and ground transfers — at a fraction of the cost.
