Recommendation
For the fastest and most convenient travel option, I recommend flying from Bentonville to Detroit, especially if you book in advance for the best prices. If you prefer road travel and enjoy scenic views along the way, renting a car will allow for more flexibility with stops. For budget-conscious travelers, taking the bus with Greyhound is a viable option as well.
