        "answer": "San Antonio is served nonstop from 32 US cities, with the busiest departure points being Dallas (DFW and Dallas Love Field), Denver, Chicago, Phoenix, Atlanta, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Nashville, and Baltimore. Flights from Dallas take about 1 hour 8 minutes, from Houston about 1 hour 7 minutes, from Denver about 2 hours 10 minutes, from Chicago about 2 hours 50 minutes, from Atlanta about 2 hours 25 minutes, from Las Vegas about 2 hours 40 minutes, from Los Angeles about 2 hours 55 minutes, and from Baltimore about 3 hours 35 minutes. Travelers generally choose a departure city based on proximity to home and the number of weekly flights, since more frequent service means more schedule flexibility and often more competitive fares. Other cities with nonstop service include Miami, Detroit, New York, St. Louis, San Diego, Charlotte, Orlando, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Tampa, San Francisco, New Orleans, Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, and several smaller airports.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "Red-eye flights to San Antonio are available from many US cities, including Dallas, Denver, Chicago, Atlanta, and Houston, with late evening departures and arrivals typically the same night or early next morning depending on the route length. Travelers often prefer these overnight options to maximize daytime hours at their destination or to avoid peak travel times. However, some gateways like Los Angeles, Charlotte, San Diego, New York, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco do not currently offer red-eye service, with flights from those cities operating primarily during daytime hours.",

However, several nearby hotels offer free airport shuttles, including Embassy Suites, Days Inn by Wyndham, Hampton Inn & Suites, and Courtyard by Marriott, all located roughly 0.7 to 0.9 miles away and reachable via courtesy phones at the baggage claim area. These hotels are outside the terminal complex, so a short shuttle ride is required.",
