Non-stop flights from Houston to Europe
United Airlines (Star Alliance): year-round to Frankfurt (FRA), Munich (MUC), London Heathrow (LHR) and Amsterdam (AMS).
Lufthansa (Star Alliance): year-round to Frankfurt (FRA).
British Airways (Oneworld): year-round to London Heathrow (LHR).
Singapore Airlines (Star Alliance): year-round to Manchester (MAN).
KLM (SkyTeam): year-round to Amsterdam (AMS).
Air France (SkyTeam): year-round to Paris (CDG).

There are 17 non-stop flights from Newark Liberty International Airport to Europe.

There seems to be a lot of non-stop flights from Atlanta to Europe:

Delta (SkyTeam) has a significant network of flights from Atlanta to Europe.

Delta (SkyTeam): seasonal flights to Düsseldorf (DUS), year-round flights to Frankfurt (FRA), Munich (MUC), seasonal flights to Stuttgart (STR), Dublin (DUB), Edinburgh (EDI), year-round flights to London Heathrow (LHR), seasonal flights to Athens (ATH), Milan (Malpensa) (MXP), year-round flights to Rome (Fiumicino) (FCO), seasonal flights to Venice Marco Polo (VCE), Barcelona (BCN), year-round flights to Madrid (MAD), Paris (CDG) and Amsterdam (AMS).
Lufthansa (Star Alliance): year-round to Frankfurt (FRA).
Virgin Atlantic: year-round to London Heathrow (LHR) and Manchester (MAN).
British Airways (Oneworld): year-round to London Heathrow (LHR).
Air France (SkyTeam): year-round to Paris (CDG).
KLM (SkyTeam): year-round to Amsterdam (AMS).

There are 35 non-stop flights from New York (JFK) to Europe.
I haven't counted them all but there must be many more than 35 non-stop flights to Europe from JFK per day. There are between 15 and 17 non-stop flights from JFK to London alone each day. They should be counted on a weekly basis, as some airlines do not run flights to certain destinations every day.

Also, one needs to measure the number of flights by metropolitan area, not by airport, because in the NY metro some airlines have abandoned JFK for Newark. SAS left JFK about 20 years ago and took all of their NY operations to Newark. United also just left JFK this month.

Possibly. I got the data from here:

According to Wiki........
JFK = 61
EWR = 46
Both include seasonals
Those are routes, not flights.

Chicago to London most certainly does not use a polar route. ORD-LHR barely clips the extreme southern end of Labrador and passes hundreds of miles south of Greenland, nowhere remotely close to the Arctic Circle. The last Air France flight from Paris to Dallas (#159, 10/30) never got any further north than... Paris. It crossed the American coast at southern New Jersey.

Probably NYC, or Boston as they are closest airports in big cities to Europe.

Zip across the US, in 50 minutes, across the Atlantic in 90 minutes. Pick a destination of your choice. (As long as the runway is 6000' or better.)

Oh, you'll need in-flight refueling, as those Pratt J58's DO burn the hay.

Not much room for luggage, but you'll be more interested in looking out the window, and seeing the curvature of the Earth...

EDIT~ **Correction**
47 minutes across the US, with 2 in-flight refuels...

f talking commercial, I think the 747 is the fastest, or was, so you would have to look for 747 routes, of which there are fewer than there used to be.

Since most jet airliners travel at similar cruising speeds, the fastest flights from the United States to Europe are going to be the ones that have to travel the shortest distance between them. Boston to Dublin, perhaps? (Or Shannon, if they still run trans-Atlantic flights through there.) Or Boston to Reykjavik if Iceland counts as part of Europe.
