Recommendation
For the most convenient journey, I recommend taking a flight, especially if your schedule allows for potential ticket flexibility and you prefer a quick travel time. However, if you're looking to save costs and enjoy the scenic route, consider taking the bus, especially on a first-class service. Either way, plan ahead and check for the best prices and schedules.
