New York offers the most frequent service with about 80 weekly flights, followed by Boston with 28. Travelers typically choose a departure city based on proximity and flight availability — those in the Northeast have many daily options from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, or Washington, while those in the Midwest can fly nonstop from Chicago, and Florida residents have seasonal nonstops from Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, or Tampa.", "methodology": "The US departure cities with nonstop service to this destination, their weekly flight frequencies, typical flight times, airlines, and red-eye availability are compiled 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).
