        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Indianapolis?",
        "answer": "You can fly nonstop to Indianapolis from 42 cities across the US, with the most frequent departures from Chicago (ORD), New York (LGA), Atlanta, Washington (DCA), and Orlando. Other major gateways include Denver, Philadelphia, Dallas, Baltimore, and Las Vegas, with carriers like Southwest, American, United, Delta, and Frontier serving the route.

We identify every U.S. airport with scheduled nonstop service, group airports into their metropolitan areas, and rank cities by scheduled weekly departures.",
