        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Saint Croix?",
        "answer": "You can fly nonstop to Saint Croix from Miami, Atlanta, and Charlotte. Miami offers the most flights, with 44 weekly departures on American Airlines, while Atlanta has 15 weekly flights on Delta and Charlotte has 3 weekly flights on American. Travelers often choose Miami for its frequency and shortest flight time of about 2 hours 55 minutes, but Atlanta and Charlotte are convenient hubs for connecting passengers from across the country. If you're not near one of these gateways, you'd connect through them or other Caribbean hubs like San Juan for one-stop 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.",
