        "question": "From which U.S. cities can I fly to Dublin?",
        "answer": "Twenty-one US cities offer nonstop flights to Dublin, led by New York (JFK) with 199 weekly departures and a typical flight time of 6 hours 35 minutes, followed by Boston at 5 hours 5 minutes and Chicago at 7 hours 20 minutes. Other major gateways include Washington Dulles (6 hours 50 minutes), Philadelphia (6 hours 35 minutes), Dallas/Fort Worth (8 hours 35 minutes), Minneapolis (7 hours 30 minutes), Detroit (7 hours 10 minutes), and Los Angeles (10 hours 15 minutes), with Aer Lingus, United, Delta, American, and JetBlue among the carriers. Travelers from cities without direct service connect through these hubs, and red-eye flights are common from most East Coast and Midwest gateways. Choosing a departure city depends on proximity to the nearest nonstop gateway and the frequency of weekly flights, with New York, Boston, and Chicago offering the most options.",
        "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.",

The shortest typical nonstop is from Boston at 6 hours 5 minutes, and the longest among major gateways is from Los Angeles at 10 hours 15 minutes. Travelers from other U.S. cities can connect through one of these hubs.",

Most routes operate daily, with New York alone having nearly 200 weekly nonstop flights to Dublin.",
