        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Abidjan?",
        "answer": "New York (JFK) is the only US city with a nonstop flight to Abidjan, operated by Ethiopian Airlines with 11 weekly flights and a flight time around 9 hours 35 minutes. Travelers from other parts of the US typically connect through New York or major European or African hubs like Paris, Brussels, or Addis Ababa, depending on their origin. The choice of departure city largely depends on proximity to a major international gateway; those near New York can take the direct option, while others weigh total travel time and flight frequency from their local airport.",
        "methodology": "The US departure cities with nonstop service to this destination, their weekly flight frequencies, typical flight times, airlines, and red-eye availability are compiled 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 US airport with scheduled nonstop service to the destination, group them into their metropolitan areas, and rank the cities by scheduled weekly departures; the typical flight time is the median scheduled duration, and red-eye availability is flagged from scheduled local departure and arrival times.",
