        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Monterrey?",
        "answer": "From the United States, you can fly nonstop to Monterrey from 18 cities, with the busiest being Dallas (DFW, up to 357 weekly flights), Houston (IAH, 174 weekly), and Miami (MIA, 72 weekly). Other major gateways include Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix, San Antonio, Detroit, Los Angeles, Orlando, Las Vegas, Austin, San Francisco, New York, Denver, Oakland, Brownsville (BRO), and Laredo (LRD). Airlines serving these routes include American, Viva Aerobus, United, Delta, and Aeromexico, with flight times ranging from about 70 minutes from San Antonio to around 4.5 hours from Detroit. Travelers typically choose a departure city based on proximity and flight frequency—Dallas and Houston offer the most options, while smaller cities like Brownsville and Laredo have limited weekly service, and connecting through a major hub like Dallas or Houston is common if a nonstop isn’t available from your local airport.",
        "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.",
