In that area, there are uncommonly large numbers of airways compared
to the numbers of destinations.
In many parts of the U.S., it is the reverse of that.
West of the Alleghenies, it's quite common to file, and be cleared for,
direct legs of 500 nautical miles or more.

How about the Northeast? If I tried to fly from Boston to White Plains
without flying airways they'd laugh me off the frequency.
