        "question": "From which U.S. cities can I fly to Yerevan?",
        "answer": "There is no nonstop service from any city in the United States to Yerevan, so travelers reach Armenia with a connection, typically through major European or Middle Eastern hubs. From the U.S., the most practical departure cities are the large international gateways such as New York, Washington, Los Angeles, and Chicago, where the widest choice of connecting itineraries is available. Travelers generally pick a departure city based on where they live, since flying from a nearby airport to one of these hubs adds a short domestic leg before the long overseas flight. The number of daily flights and the strength of airline partnerships at each gateway determine how smooth the connection to Yerevan will be.",
        "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.",

        "methodology": "Flight times from each U.S. departure city 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); the typical time is the median scheduled duration of that city's nonstop services to this destination.",
