Overall Recommendation
For this journey from Minatitlán to Monterrey, I recommend taking a flight for efficiency and time-saving purposes. The air route is significantly quicker than traveling by bus, which takes considerably longer. However, if you prefer to enjoy the scenic views and possibly save on your travel expenses, the bus option is also feasible. Check both airlines for schedules and availability to find the best deal.
