        "question": "From which U.S. cities can I fly to San Luis Potosí?",
        "answer": "You can fly nonstop to San Luis Potosí from four US cities: Dallas (DFW), Houston (IAH), Atlanta (ATL), and San Antonio (SAT). Dallas and Houston offer the most flights, with up to 88 and 66 weekly departures respectively on American, United, and Volaris, while Atlanta has 21 weekly flights on Aeromexico and San Antonio has just 3 on Volaris. Red-eye flights are available from Dallas, but not from the other gateways. If you're not near one of these cities, one-stop connections are possible through these hubs or via other major US gateways, though nonstop service is limited to Texas and Atlanta. Travelers typically choose the closest gateway with nonstop service, or connect through Dallas or Houston for the most frequent schedules.",
        "methodology": "The U.S. departure cities with nonstop service to this destination and their weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We identify every U.S. airport with scheduled nonstop service, group airports into their metropolitan areas, and rank cities by scheduled weekly departures.",

From other major US cities without nonstop service, typical one-stop itineraries range from 5 to 8 hours depending on the connection; for example, a flight from Los Angeles usually takes around 6 to 7 hours with a stop in Houston or Dallas.",
