Based on the options evaluated, if you are looking for the fastest route, I highly recommend flying as it will save you considerable time overall. If you prefer driving, I suggest the road route via I-65 S for a scenic view of the landscape. For budget-conscious travelers, the bus option offers a viable alternative.
