U.S. METROS WITH FLIGHTS TO ASIA

Here is the same list but for Asian cities. These are the American cities with non-stop direct flights to Asia:

1. Atlanta
2. Boston
3. Chicago
4. Dallas
5. Dededo (aka Guam)
6. Denver
7. Detroit
8. Hilo
9. Honolulu
10. Houston
11. Las Vegas
12. Los Angeles
13. Minneapolis
14. New York
15. Portland
16. Riverside
17. Saipan
18. San Diego
19. San Francisco
20. San Jose
21. Seattle
22. Washington

Pretty barren, and quite a few head-scratching omissions, like Miami, Philadelphia, and Phoenix.

Newark has direct flights to Beijing, Delhi, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Mumbai, Shanghai, Singapore, Tel Aviv, Tokyo, so I assume Philadelphians well utilize that airport (1.5 hour drive away). But Miami and Phoenix don't make much sense, the former given its tourism draw and Phoenix due to the large Asian populations in the West (though I suppose Phoenix isn't as Asian as California).
