        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Addis Ababa?",
        "answer": "From the United States, you can fly nonstop to Addis Ababa from Washington, D.C. (Dulles IAD), Chicago (O'Hare ORD), and Atlanta (ATL), all served by Ethiopian Airlines. Washington offers the most weekly flights, followed by Chicago and Atlanta. Travelers typically choose their departure city based on proximity and flight availability, often connecting through these hubs from other US cities.",
        "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.",
