+: no fuss about luggage, on time, clean bus
-: armrests not movable, no possibility to turn off airco directed at the seat. Cushions and blanket would be nice.

Leito bed too short, and did not lie flat - I felt not much better than airline seat, although much wider.

I got the extra seats and they were indeed comfortable and there was charger with usb as well. After leaving Rio we stopped once for 30 min and got lunch at the buffet restaurant. Pretty good stop.
