Most transfer mistakes are predictable. That means they are preventable.

The common dozen

  1. Not checking terminal
  2. Waiting too long to choose transfer mode
  3. Picking a famous stop, not the useful one
  4. Ignoring weather impact
  5. Overpacking day-one itinerary
  6. No backup payment method
  7. No offline map
  8. Wrong assumptions about walking surfaces
  9. Poor group coordination
  10. Tight timing before events
  11. Underestimating fatigue
  12. No safety buffer

Prevention pattern

Use one-page notes in your phone: terminal, stop, backup, hotel pin, emergency contact.

Bottom line

Good travel is often boring logistics executed well. That’s a compliment.
