        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to León?",
        "answer": "Eleven US cities have nonstop flights to León, Guanajuato (BJX). Dallas (DFW) and Houston (IAH) offer the most frequent service, with multiple daily flights on American, VivaAerobus, and United, while Atlanta, Oakland, Chicago, Sacramento, San Antonio, Ontario, Fresno, Los Angeles, and San Jose each have a few weekly nonstops, mostly on Volaris or VivaAerobus. For one-stop connections, travelers from other US cities typically connect through Dallas, Houston, or Mexico City, with many options on American, United, or Aeromexico. Choosing a departure city depends on where you live and flight availability—major Texas hubs are the most practical for much of the country, while West Coast cities offer direct options for those in California and nearby areas.",
        "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.",
