Recommendation
For the most efficient and balanced journey, I recommend flying with Aeroméxico for speed and comfort, which offers a combination of reasonable price, time efficiency, and the convenience of multiple daily flights. If you enjoy road trips and the flexibility of stopping, driving could be enjoyable, especially with an appealing landscape. For budget-conscious travelers, the bus route remains a great option, albeit with longer travel times.
