        "question": "From which U.S. cities can I fly to Belize City?",
        "answer": "Fourteen U.S. cities offer nonstop flights to Belize City, led by Miami with 115 weekly flights on American Airlines, followed by Dallas, Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, and New York. Flight times range from about 2 hours 20 minutes from Houston Hobby to 6 hours 6 minutes from Seattle, with most nonstops under 4 hours 30 minutes. Travelers from other U.S. cities typically connect through one of these major hubs such as Miami, Dallas, Atlanta, or Houston. Choosing a departure city depends largely on where you live and how many weekly flights are available, as higher-frequency gateways like Miami and Dallas offer more flexibility.",
        "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.",
