        "question": "Which cities in Canada can I fly from to reach Mexico?",
        "answer": "Twenty cities across Canada offer nonstop flights to Mexico, with Toronto leading at 357 weekly flights (typically 4h 24m), followed by Vancouver at 254 weekly flights (5h 34m) and Calgary at 204 weekly flights (5h 4m). Montreal and Edmonton round out the top five with 186 and 77 weekly flights respectively, while smaller gateways like Winnipeg, Quebec City, Ottawa, Regina, Saskatoon, Kelowna, Halifax, and Victoria each provide between 10 and 49 weekly flights. Travellers choose a departure airport based on proximity, with major hubs like Toronto and Vancouver offering the most frequency and airline choice, while regional airports such as London, Ontario (4h 5m to Cancún) and St. John's, Newfoundland (6h 51m) serve more local demand. From Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Montreal, travellers can reach multiple Mexican destinations including Cancún, Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta, and Los Cabos, while smaller gateways typically connect primarily to Cancún or Puerto Vallarta.",
        "methodology": "Departure cities and their weekly nonstop flights 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 list every city in the origin country with scheduled nonstop service to an airport in the destination, busiest first.",

To avoid holiday surges, steer clear of Canadian and Mexican long weekends, Christmas, New Year's, and Semana Santa, when prices typically spike.",
