Recommendation
If speed and convenience are your priorities, I recommend flying with either Air Canada or WestJet, allowing for a quicker journey with a manageable total duration. However, if you prefer the road trip experience, driving provides the flexibility to explore various towns along the route, though the journey will be significantly longer. Be sure to check weather conditions, especially during winter months, as they can affect travel time.
