        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Stockholm?",
        "answer": "Nonstop flights to Stockholm are available from New York (Newark) and Miami. From New York, SAS and Delta operate about 25 weekly flights with a typical duration around 7 hours 55 minutes; from Miami, SAS runs two weekly flights taking about 9 hours 20 minutes. Travelers elsewhere in the US typically connect via European hubs like Copenhagen, London, or Frankfurt on carriers such as SAS, British Airways, or Lufthansa. Choosing a departure city depends on proximity to these nonstop gateways or convenient one-stop connections, with New York offering the most frequent service.",
        "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.",

For other major US cities, a one-stop connection typically adds a few hours, so from Chicago or Los Angeles you’re looking at around 11–14 hours total travel time.",

SAS operates nonstop flights from both cities, and Delta also flies nonstop from New York, with around 25 weekly flights from New York and 2 from Miami. Flight time is roughly 8 hours from New York and about 9 hours 20 minutes from Miami.",

      },
      "q4": {
        "question": "Which airlines fly from United States to Stockholm?",
        "answer": "SAS (Star Alliance) and Delta (SkyTeam) fly nonstop from New York, while SAS also serves Miami, with one-stop connections available on other carriers.",
        "methodology": "Airlines are the operating carriers scheduled on nonstop services from each U.S. departure city, taken 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).",
