Recommendation
For this journey, flying is the most efficient mode of transportation, considering the significant distance and the overall time required. While driving offers more flexibility and the chance to see the landscape, it substantially increases the travel time. If you opt to fly, be sure to check for seasonal flights and keep your luggage within airline limits to avoid extra fees.
