  "methodology": "Counts cover repositioning legs recorded on the SkyAccess marketplace over the trailing 12 months plus currently listed future flights, aggregated bidirectionally (A to B and B to A are one corridor) and folded to the metro a traveler would actually search: Teterboro counts as New York, Van Nuys as Los Angeles, Chambery absorbs Viviers-du-Lac. Corridors are only included when activity spans at least three distinct months, which excludes one-off fleet shuffles. Single-month artifacts, however large, are dropped.",
