Recommendation

For the most efficient and comfortable journey, I recommend taking a flight from a local airline like United or American, as it minimizes travel time despite potentially higher costs compared to bus or train options. Ensure you factor in additional time for airport procedures, and consider booking in advance for the best rates. If you prefer a road trip, driving can also be a scenic and enjoyable way to experience the journey at your own pace!
