Overall Recommendation
For the most efficient and comfortable journey, I recommend flying with Southwest Airlines or American Airlines for a quick travel time of about 5 hours. This option is most practical especially considering the relatively affordable cost compared to other modes of transport. If you prefer scenery and the flexibility of driving, renting a car is another viable option, offering the freedom to stop along the route.
