        "question": "From which U.S. cities can I fly to Salt Lake City?",
        "answer": "Salt Lake City enjoys nonstop service from 90 U.S. cities, with Denver, Phoenix, and Chicago leading as the busiest gateways — Denver alone offers 444 weekly flights on Delta, Southwest, Frontier, and United, making the hop in about 1 hour 33 minutes. Phoenix follows with 346 weekly flights at roughly 1 hour 35 minutes, while Chicago provides 273 weekly flights at about 3 hours 29 minutes, and other major nonstop origins include Las Vegas (1 hour 26 minutes), Seattle (2 hours 5 minutes), Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York. Red-eye flights operate from Denver, Phoenix, Chicago, Las Vegas, Seattle, Dallas, and Atlanta, but not from San Francisco, Los Angeles, or San Diego. Travelers from smaller markets without nonstop service typically connect through one of these hubs, choosing a departure city based on proximity and flight frequency — Denver, Phoenix, and Chicago offer the most options, while regional airports like Bozeman, Jackson Hole, and Spokane provide convenient but lower-frequency nonstops.",
        "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.",

Shorter hops like Las Vegas clock in at roughly 1 hour 26 minutes, while longer ones such as Chicago take about 3 hours 29 minutes. Travelers from other cities can connect through one of these hubs.",
