The return trip is longer at 5 hours and 45 minutes, mostly due to prevailing headwinds. Connecting itineraries add roughly 2 to 4 hours, so door-to-door times often range from 7 to 9 hours.", "methodology": "Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q1": { "question": "Are there any direct flights from Las Vegas to New York City?", "answer": "Yes, there are direct non‑stop flights from Las Vegas (LAS) to New York (JFK).

The most-used public transit route is the AirTrain to Jamaica Station, then the Long Island Rail Road or subway, which costs under $20 and takes about 45–60 minutes. Rental cars are available at Federal Circle via the AirTrain, but driving into the city can be slow and parking is expensive.
