        "question": "From which U.S. cities can I fly to Nice?",
        "answer": "Five U.S. cities offer nonstop service to Nice, France: New York (JFK) leads with 65 weekly flights on B0, United, Air France, and Delta, taking about 8 hours 15 minutes, and it's the only gateway with red-eye departures. Philadelphia (PHL) has 32 weekly flights on American at roughly 7 hours 55 minutes, Washington (IAD) has 8 weekly flights on United at about 8 hours 35 minutes, Atlanta (ATL) has 7 weekly flights on Delta at around 9 hours, and Los Angeles (LAX) has 1 weekly flight on Air France at about 11 hours 35 minutes. Travelers from other U.S. cities typically connect through one of these hubs, with New York and Philadelphia offering the most schedule options. The choice of departure city depends mainly on where you live and how many flights you want to choose from, with the eastern hubs providing far more frequency than the single weekly service from Los Angeles.",
        "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.",
