Recommendation
For a seamless trip with a balance of time and cost, I recommend flying with Southwest Airlines or American Airlines. Although driving offers scenic views and flexibility, it entails a longer travel duration and requires planning for stops. Conversely, bus travel is budget-friendly but the length of the journey is considerably longer.
