Travel Tips
Book Your Transport in Advance**: Whether you choose to fly, take a train, or travel by bus or car, booking your tickets ahead of time can save you money and guarantee your spot, especially during peak travel seasons. For flights, keep an eye on fare alerts for the best deals.
Consider the Border Crossing**: If you’re traveling to Victoria, BC, you will need to cross the U.S.-Canada border. Ensure you have valid identification (passport or enhanced ID) and any necessary visas ready. Check border wait times online before you travel to avoid delays.
Time Your Departure Wisely**: Plan to leave Spokane early in the morning to account for travel time and potential border delays. If taking a flight, arrive at the airport at least 2 hours prior to your departure, and for buses or trains, aim to arrive 30-45 minutes early.
Pack Smartly**: Be aware of luggage restrictions for your chosen mode of transport. For flights, check the airline's baggage policy for size and weight limits. If traveling by bus or train, keep your luggage manageable since space may be limited. Always pack essentials and a change of clothes in your carry-on.
Stay Informed on Travel Updates**: Keep an eye on travel advisories and updates regarding border regulations, especially in light of any health protocols or changes in travel rules. Apps for your chosen transport service can provide real-time updates on schedules and delays.
