Travel Tips
Choose Your Mode of Transport Wisely**:
Car**: Driving offers flexibility with scenic stops along Route 66. The journey takes about 4-5 hours.
Bus**: Consider Greyhound for affordable fares. Book in advance for the best rates and check schedules, as they can vary.
Flight**: While flying is the fastest option, it may not be the most economical. Check for direct flights or consider layovers in larger cities.
Train**: Amtrak offers a unique travel experience, but schedules can be limited. Plan ahead to ensure availability.
Book in Advance**: Secure your tickets early, especially for flights and trains, to avoid price hikes. For bus travel, booking a few days in advance can also yield better fares.

Stay Informed About Border Crossings**: While there are no international borders on this route, be aware of state laws—especially regarding alcohol or other restricted items—as you travel from Texas to New Mexico.
