For a balance of cost and time efficiency, I recommend the flying option combined with bus transfer, especially if you aim to catch a direct flight to New York City and then take a bus to Utica. This option provides the best compromise between comfort and travel time, while also giving you the flexibility to enjoy the scenic journey on the bus.
