Getting Around Azeroth

One of the first reminders I need when going back through old content on a new toon or doing World Event achievements on my higher level toons is how to travel around the world as efficiently as possible. Since Blizzard tends to revise transportation options with each expansion, it can be hard to keep track of all the ways to get around so here is my cheat sheet!
