Checking the Delta reservations from SFO to PVD there's no direct flight. The fastest is 7 1/2 hrs. It's a one stop in DTW(Detroit) and a plane change from 757 to Airbus A320 into Providence. Their booking only goes thru June 2017 so it's an approximation at this time. Haven't checked

Better avionics, higher altitude. One of my roughest rides was into Denver from Houston on a Delta DC-8. The thunder cloud tops were so high we couldn't fly over so the pilot flew around like the ex-fighter pilot he was. It was like a forty thousand foot roller coaster. Lots of flight bags
