Recommendation
For the fastest journey, I recommend traveling by air, booking well in advance through reputable airlines like Air Canada or United Airlines. The flight from Ottawa to Albany is typically the most efficient, followed by a short drive or bus to Queensbury. If you prefer a scenic route and want to save on costs, consider taking a bus but be prepared for a longer travel time.
