Recommendation
For a faster and more efficient journey, I recommend flying direct from Hollister (using nearby airport, Springfield-Branson National Airport) to New York City. This option not only saves time but also allows you to avoid the hassle of multiple transfers. However, if you prefer a more scenic route, consider the bus-train combination, allowing you to see parts of the country while still being cost-effective.
