Recommendation
For a balance of comfort and efficiency, I recommend flying with either Southwest Airlines or United Airlines. Although it may be pricier than driving or taking the bus, the time saved and convenience make it well worth the cost. If you prefer a scenic route and a road trip experience, driving is a great option, particularly if you enjoy stops along the way.
