Recommendation

If you prefer a quick and comfortable journey, I recommend flying with Delta Airlines or United Airlines. This option not only cuts down travel time significantly to around 7 hours but also provides more convenience. For budget travelers, the bus and train combo can also be a good choice for a more scenic route and lower costs, while driving offers flexibility but takes the most time.
