Choose Your Transport Wisely**:

Car**: Offers flexibility and scenic views, especially if you take the direct route via I-90. Consider stopping at picturesque spots like Lake Coeur d'Alene.

Booking in Advance**:

For bus and train, the journey can take 5-7 hours, so plan accordingly if you have a specific arrival time.

Luggage Considerations**:

For planes, check the airline's baggage policy to avoid unexpected fees. Pack light and bring essentials in your carry-on.

On buses and trains, larger luggage may need to be checked, so ensure you have necessary items (snacks, entertainment) easily accessible.

Border Crossings**:

While traveling between Missoula and Spokane, there are no international borders to cross. However, ensure you have valid ID for bus or train travel, and keep any necessary documentation handy for flights.
