        "question": "From which U.S. cities can I fly to Cleveland?",
        "answer": "Cleveland Hopkins International Airport is served by nonstop flights from 31 cities across the United States, with the busiest gateways being Chicago (about 8 hours 23 minutes, with up to 499 weekly flights on Southwest, American, and United), New York (about 1 hour 46 minutes, up to 305 weekly flights), and Washington (about 1 hour 26 minutes, up to 211 weekly flights). Other major nonstop departure cities include Atlanta, Philadelphia, Charlotte, Dallas, Denver, Boston, Orlando, Baltimore, Minneapolis, Nashville, Detroit, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, St. Louis, Tampa, and Phoenix, with flight times ranging from just 52 minutes from Detroit to about 4 hours 46 minutes from San Francisco. Travelers from smaller markets such as Fort Myers, Miami, Houston, Fort Lauderdale, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Myrtle Beach, Austin, Raleigh-Durham, West Palm Beach, and Sarasota also have direct options, while those from cities without nonstop service can connect through hubs like Chicago, New York, or Atlanta. Most people choose a departure airport based on proximity to home and the frequency of flights, with the largest cities offering the most daily choices and the shortest overall travel times.",
        "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.",
