Recommendation
Considering the options, flying is the most efficient and fastest mode of travel, allowing you to reach your destination in approximately 8 hours. If you prefer flexibility, driving offers a scenic route with the opportunity for exploration along the way, though it will take much longer. Train travel, while scenic, can be time-consuming and less direct.
