Timing is Key**:
If flying, early morning or late evening flights often have fewer delays. For trains and buses, check the schedule and avoid peak hours, especially weekends.

Keep your luggage light and within the airline's weight limits if flying. For trains and buses, remember to bring snacks, a water bottle, and entertainment for longer journeys. A compact travel backpack is ideal for easy mobility.
Prepare for Border Crossings (if applicable)**:
