Recommendation
For a balance of efficiency and cost, I recommend flying from Texarkana to Mexico City. The total travel time is significantly shorter compared to taking a bus, even though the bus option is more budget-friendly. Ensure to check the baggage fees with the airline and consider arriving at the airport early, as security lines can be long.
