en & por when applied to transport

fui a malaga por/en avion

Do both of these work?

I always thought ´por´ was correct/more used?

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Preposition "en" in Spanish (on/in/inside/at) - general use "

"En avión" is preferred for people travelling... [My dictionary implies that "por avión" may be used for postal items sent by air mail]... Similarly 'en coche' and 'en tren'.
