Recommendation
For your journey from Brasília to Monteiro, I recommend taking a flight given the significant reduction in travel time and the comfort it provides. While the bus may be a more budget-friendly option, the added duration of travel makes the air option preferable. Ensure you check for any applicable baggage fees or additional costs when booking your tickets.
