Recommendation
For a faster and more efficient journey, I recommend flying with Southwest Airlines or American Airlines, as the flight duration is much shorter, despite the overall time including layovers. However, if you prefer a scenic and flexible road trip experience, renting a car is also a great option, allowing you the freedom to explore less traveled routes and landmarks along the way.
