Choose Your Transport Wisely**:
Train**: The comfortable train ride offers scenic views and frequent departures. Book tickets in advance for the best prices.

Luggage Considerations**:
For flights, check the baggage policies of your airline to avoid extra fees. On trains and buses, ensure your luggage is manageable, as space can be limited.
Booking Tips**:
Utilize comparison websites to find the best prices for buses and flights. For trains, consider the official railway websites for discounts and special offers. Always book in advance to secure your seat, especially in peak travel seasons.
