Flights depart from key airports like Chicago O'Hare, Orlando International, Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson, and Boston Logan, with typical nonstop flight times ranging from about 1.5 hours from Washington, D.C. to over 5 hours from Los Angeles. Most major airlines, including American, Delta, United, JetBlue, and Southwest, operate these routes, and red-eye options are available from many cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Travelers typically choose a departure airport based on proximity—those in the Northeast might use Boston or Washington for short hops, while those in the Midwest or South often connect through large hubs like Atlanta or Dallas if a direct flight isn't available from their local airport. Even smaller cities like Raleigh-Durham, Nashville, and Pittsburgh have robust nonstop service, making New York accessible from nearly every region of the country.", "methodology": "The U.S. departure cities with nonstop service to this destination and their weekly frequencies 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).
