Is flying or taking a train/bus better for my body on this route?

Pick the mode that gives you the most posture freedom with the least transfer stress.

• Train wins if you need to stand/stretch often.
• Plane wins if transfers/terrain flare you more than sitting.
• Bus only if seats + stops are predictable and body-friendly.

• Outbound Day: Choose transport as a flare-prevention tool.

Is slower always easier? Not if it means longer pain exposure. Duration matters.

Can I split modes? Yes: fly the long leg, train the scenic short leg.

What about overnight travel? Only if you reliably sleep seated.

• Assistance and accessibility rights exist across major transport modes in many regions.
• For any long sit, VTE guidance prioritizes movement and hydration.
• Micro-anchor (back pain/OA): Trains often give better aisle walking and posture freedom than buses.
• Micro-anchor (migraine): If cabin pressure or noise is a trigger, trains may be kinder despite longer time.
