If you can choose your departure time: early morning flights (5am - 9am) run at 98%. Late morning (9am - 12pm) drops to 83%. That is a 15-point difference from the same airport on the same day.
Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT) is 75 miles away and running 100% today. If your route is available from both airports, MHT is the better bet right now.
