        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Buenos Aires?",
        "answer": "You can fly nonstop to Buenos Aires from five U.S. cities: Miami, Atlanta, New York, Houston, and Dallas. Miami is the busiest gateway with up to 182 weekly flights on Aerolíneas Argentinas, LATAM, and American, while Atlanta, New York, Houston, and Dallas also offer daily nonstops on carriers like Delta, American, and United. For travelers not near these hubs, one-stop connections are available through those same cities or via other major U.S. hubs like Los Angeles or Chicago, and sometimes through nearby countries like Panama or Peru. Choosing a departure city usually comes down to proximity and flight frequency — Miami offers the most options and shortest flight time at about 9 hours, while New York flights take closer to 10.5 hours. Red-eye departures are available from all five nonstop gateways.",
        "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.",
