Overall Recommendation
For the best balance of speed and comfort, I recommend flying from Kamloops to Jonesboro with a layover in Dallas/Fort Worth. This option minimizes travel time significantly compared to driving, while allowing for your luggage to be more easily managed. If you prefer a scenic route and don’t mind a longer journey, consider driving as an adventurous road trip option with multiple sightseeing opportunities along the way.
