        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Barranquilla?",
        "answer": "The only US city with nonstop flights to Barranquilla is Miami (MIA), served by American Airlines and Avianca with up to 98 weekly flights and a typical flight time around 2 hours 55 minutes. Travelers from other parts of the US typically connect through Miami or fly via nearby international hubs like Panama City (PTY) or Bogotá (BOG) on Copa or Avianca. Choosing a departure city often comes down to proximity to Miami for the nonstop or the availability of one-stop itineraries through major connecting airports.",
        "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.",
