        "question": "From which U.S. cities can I fly to Indianapolis?",
        "answer": "Indianapolis enjoys nonstop service from 42 U.S. cities, with Chicago (ORD) leading at 386 weekly flights taking about 1 hour 12 minutes, followed by New York (LGA) at 282 weekly flights and 2 hours 20 minutes, Atlanta at 213 weekly flights and 1 hour 32 minutes, and Washington (DCA) at 180 weekly flights and 1 hour 50 minutes. Other major nonstop gateways include Orlando, Denver, Philadelphia, Dallas, Baltimore, Las Vegas, Charlotte, Phoenix, Boston, Tampa, Minneapolis, Austin, Detroit, and Houston, with typical flight times ranging from just over an hour from Detroit to about 3 hours 35 minutes from Las Vegas. Travelers from cities without nonstop service typically connect through one of these major hubs, such as Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, or Charlotte. When choosing a departure city, consider both your geographic proximity to a gateway and the frequency of flights, as higher weekly flight counts generally offer more scheduling flexibility and often more competitive fares.",
        "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.",

Travelers from other U.S. cities can connect through hubs such as Chicago, Atlanta, or Dallas.
