Recommendation
For the most efficient journey, I recommend flying, given the long distance and time it saves compared to road travel. While flying is more expensive, it significantly reduces travel time. Ensure to check for the best ticket prices and flight schedules in advance to secure the best deal. If you choose to drive, it's a beautiful route that provides a chance to see the Mexican landscape up close.
