        "question": "From which U.S. cities can I fly to Phoenix?",
        "answer": "Phoenix Sky Harbor is served by nonstop flights from 117 cities across the United States, with Denver, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, and Las Vegas being the busiest departure points. Denver alone has 564 weekly flights and a typical flight time of 1 hour 55 minutes, while Los Angeles offers 486 weekly flights at about 1 hour 30 minutes, and Chicago also has 486 weekly flights taking roughly 3 hours 45 minutes. Other major nonstop gateways include San Diego, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Albuquerque, and New York, with New York's flight time around 5 hours 27 minutes. Travelers from smaller cities can connect through these major hubs, and red-eye flights are available from most major gateways. Choosing a departure city depends largely on where you live and how many direct flights are offered, with the largest metro areas providing the most frequency and flexibility.",
        "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.",
