Plan the complete path
A route is more than train time: include terminal walking, waiting, interchange and the final address. Operating patterns may differ by day.
Check luggage rules and whether everyone in the group can comfortably manage transfers.
Have a closing-time fallback
Late landing, baggage delay or a missed connection can move the journey beyond Metro service.
Save the destination and an official taxi alternative before leaving the terminal.
