Recommendation
Given the distance and practicality, I recommend flying with either Southwest Airlines or American Airlines for a balance of time efficiency and cost. If you prefer to enjoy the landscape and stop along the way, a road trip would be an adventurous option, albeit longer. Book your flights early and choose the best flight times to minimize layovers.
