        "question": "From which U.S. cities can I fly to Belo Horizonte?",
        "answer": "Orlando is the only US city with nonstop service to Belo Horizonte, with 10 weekly flights operated by Azul Brazilian Airlines (AD) from Orlando International Airport (MCO), taking about 8 hours 35 minutes. Travelers from other US cities connect through Orlando, or through major international hubs such as São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, or Panama City. When choosing a departure city, travelers consider proximity to home and flight frequency; Orlando offers the most direct option, while those elsewhere in the country can reach Belo Horizonte with a single connection through one of 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.",

        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from the United States to Belo Horizonte are typically March through May and August through early November, avoiding U.S. summer and year-end holidays.

There is no train or metro service from the airport; the Belo Horizonte Metro runs within the city but does not reach the airport.
