        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Querétaro?",
        "answer": "There are seven US cities with nonstop flights to Querétaro: Dallas (DFW), Houston (IAH), Detroit (DTW), Atlanta (ATL), Chicago (ORD), San Antonio (SAT), and Los Angeles (LAX). Dallas and Houston offer the most flights, with up to 179 and 79 weekly respectively on American, VivaAerobus, and United. Detroit and Atlanta are served by Aeromexico, while Chicago, San Antonio, and Los Angeles have flights on Volaris and/or American. Travelers typically pick a departure city based on proximity and flight frequency; those in Texas or the Midwest have abundant nonstop options, while others may connect through these hubs or fly via Mexico City on a one-stop itinerary.",
        "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.",
