For the most efficient and fastest option, I recommend flying with either Aeroméxico or Volaris, especially if you value time and convenience. However, if you prefer to enjoy the scenery and have a more budget-friendly option, taking the ADO or Estrella Roja bus is a great alternative. Both travel modes have their pros, so choose based on your comfort and timeline.
