The 552 miles between Dayton and New York works out to about 1h 44m in the air, the range where nonstops are common on busy days and connections through a hub fill in the rest. Ask the agent to compare both; the one-stop is sometimes cheaper by a wide margin.
From the Midwest, the expensive weeks cluster around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and spring break in March; May, early June, September, and October tend to price lowest.
