Choose Your Transport Wisely**:

Flight**: The quickest option, with flights taking about 1 hour. Book in advance for better deals, and check for any carry-on restrictions.

Regardless of your mode of transport, it’s wise to check schedules and book your tickets at least a few weeks in advance, especially during peak seasons. Aim to arrive at the station or airport early to avoid last-minute stress.
