We were lucky on Tuesday to be able to fly non-stop from Munich, Germany to LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) last Tuesday almost a week ago. Our biggest problem actually has been jet lag from 1 week on the east Coast (3 hours difference) and 3 weeks in Austria and Germany ( hours different than California time (9 hours ahead of California and New York 3 hours ahead of California time.
However, I don't think flying from Munich to JFK or Boston would have worked as well because of Air Traffic Controllers not being there.

The FAA said planes headed for Los Angeles were held at their originating airports starting at 11:42 a.m. Eastern time, causing delays averaging an hour and 40 minutes. The agency said it expected to lift the ground stop at 1:30 p.m. Eastern time but might continue to restrict traffic into LAX.
Staffing shortages also caused takeoff and arrival disruptions Sunday at New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport and Teterboro Airport and at Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Meyers, Florida, according to the FAA.
