Lufthansa, which dominates the market on flights between the U.S. and Frankfurt, is the world's largest remaining operator of the Boeing 747.

Try October instead, with around 430,000 seats and 1,534 nonstop flights. Sunrise at Akumal beach, paradise bay at Riviera Maya, caribbean coast of Mexico - travel ... More destination for vacation Cancun is the second city in Mexico to make it to the top ten.

Toronto appeals to many, with over 3,717,000 seats on 33,809 nonstop flights this summer. The busiest month for air travel to Toronto is October, with over 640,000 seats on 5,839 scheduled nonstop flights.

This summer, the busiest city in the top ten destinations in seats from the U.S. is busy by a wide margin. There are over 5,966,000 seats on 22,357 nonstop flights from the U.S. to the British capital this summer. May, July and August will be more crowded, with over 1,008,000 seats in May and July. May has 3,767 scheduled flights, and July has 3,787. August is the busiest of the three, with over 1,009,000 seats on 3,793 nonstop flights. Try June, which has around 977,000 seats and 3,659 flights, to enjoy high tea more peacefully. As we can see from four of the top ten destinations, many Americans will not leave the continent this summer, with Vancouver being the least busy among the busiest destinations in North America for air travel from the U.S. Those who venture out are most likely to head for Europe, which accounts for another four popular cities, with Amsterdam, being the least busy. Seoul and Tokyo have plenty to offer those who want to venture out a bit further with comparatively fewer crowds.
