  • Since the flight takes just over an hour, choose direct flights — connecting options on this route are usually not cost-effective in terms of either time or money.
  • Use the price trend chart on the page to compare costs for different days of the week: flights on Tuesdays and Wednesdays are often cheaper than weekend departures.
