Recommendation
Considering both cost and duration, I recommend flying from Muskogee to Chicago. The convenience of a direct flight significantly reduces travel time compared to other modes. However, if you prefer a scenic route, the bus is a budget-friendly option, while the train provides a comfortable atmosphere for travel.
