Recommendation
For a balance of cost and experience, I recommend taking a flight from Woodbury to Tulsa, especially if time is a factor. The flight duration is significantly shorter than driving, and you can arrive in Tulsa with more energy to explore. Compare prices between airlines to find the best deal that fits your budget.
