When we start planning our vacation, of course, the question arises, what transport is best for your trip - plane, train or car. It is quite difficult to answer this question unambiguously, because each of us has its own criteria of comfort, speed and other things. It is also important where you are going to rest. Let's discuss together the main types and methods of transport from point A to point B, their pros and cons.

Airplane 

The safest and most popular mode of transport in tourism is the plane. It is very comfortable: polite staff, who are always ready to help, comfortable seats, you will not go hungry. A plus is also the availability of restrooms, which is a necessity when traveling with children. As for tickets for children, you don't have to pay full price at all. Children under the age of two can travel completely free in their parents' arms.

With an airplane, you can get to your destination faster than with any other means of transportation. For example, a seven-day trip by train can be replaced by a seven- to eight-hour flight by air. Despite the fact that all this time you have to sit still, but it saves almost six days of travel by train. If you can not sit this time with little movement, you can go to the restroom or stretch the joints sitting, the blood with special exercises.

Among the disadvantages of air travel can be noted turbulence, as well as the risk of losing luggage. By the way, because of the turbulence accidents do not happen, despite common perceptions of this phenomenon. In addition to these points, travelers are haunted simply by the fear of planes. Statistics state that about 80 percent are afraid of flying, and five percent have a phobia about it, so they have completely ruled out this mode of transport for travel. This probably comes from wondering and not understanding "how such a huge thing stays in the air." A little self-development and the fear will disappear.

Train

A huge factor in choosing transportation for travel is money. Not too long ago, the cost of airfare was beyond the means of many travelers. Now, however, you can see many discounts and offers that make it easy to fly for a small price and in great comfort. Some tickets end up being cheaper than train tickets. Because of this, a downward trend in rail travel has been noticed.

Trains, however, remain on the back burner for tourists. Although there is a relative opportunity to sleep in the train with some comfort. You can walk along the cars, thereby stretching your joints, spend time with a cup of tea, talking to new acquaintances or playing board games. People are attracted to the trains by a certain charm, which gives: the even sound of the wheels, the change of scenery outside the window, rocking, as well as stops at the stations, during which you can discover new places.

If you want to travel to a small town, the train is a great option. This will prove to be a recreational transport and will not require transfers, because there are now plenty of railroad destinations. This has another plus: you do not have to go through a tedious registration and inspection procedure, as, for example, at the airport. In addition, there is no need to overpay for extra luggage. While boarding can be delayed and flight schedules can change, with trains mishaps happen quite rarely. This means that you'll be at the right place at the right time.

Car

More and more people are becoming fans of traveling in their own vehicles. If you decide, after all, to go on a trip by car, remember that it determines you a certain degree of responsibility. The first thing you need to take care of is a transit visa, which should include all the countries you will be passing through. The car needs to be cleaned up. It's not just about maintenance. Ask whether your favorite toning, for example, is not prohibited in the country where you are going. If it is not, you will have to pay a fine or have it removed on the spot.

If traveling by other means of transport involves only buying a ticket and drive, the autoturist need to take care of their own gasoline, stopping points, insurance, as well as funds for emergencies.

It should be remembered that one person can be behind the wheel for no more than 12-13 hours, after which such driving becomes dangerous. It is good if someone can substitute for the driver. Pre-prepared for the trip, you can travel at your own pleasure, packing all the things that will make your stay comfortable, and the suitcases are large. You will have a great opportunity to stop to enjoy the scenery and take pictures. You can also occasionally go off the designated route when you see signs with some sights.

Traveling in so-called motor homes has become very popular. This is a great vacation vehicle, with which you do not need to spend money on hotels, staying in a campground. These vehicles have comfortable sleeping places, air conditioning and heating, a refrigerator with a stove and a sink. In some countries with suitable climates, people live entirely in such autos.
