Recommendation
Considering both options, if time is of the essence, I recommend flying with Aeroméxico or Volaris as it provides the best balance of efficiency and cost. Alternatively, if you are looking for an adventurous road trip, renting a car could be a fulfilling experience, albeit significantly longer.
