        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Curaçao Island?",
        "answer": "There are nonstop flights to Curaçao from four US cities: Miami, New York, Charlotte, and Atlanta. Miami offers the most flights, with up to 110 weekly departures on American Airlines and Surinam Airways, followed by New York (JFK) with 44 weekly flights on United and JetBlue, Charlotte with 39 on American, and Atlanta with 29 on Delta. Travelers typically choose the departure city closest to home, with Miami serving as the busiest gateway for those in the Southeast and connections from other regions often routing through these hubs.",
        "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.",

Taxis are readily available at the terminal and take roughly 15 to 20 minutes to reach downtown Willemstad, while ride-share services like Uber are also available, though less common than taxis. Private car services and pre-booked transfers offer another comfortable option, with travel times similar to a taxi.",
