        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Charlotte?",
        "answer": "Charlotte has nonstop flights from 139 US cities, with the busiest gateways including ROA, New York (LGA), CHO, TRI, and LYH. Major hubs like Atlanta, Washington (DCA), Chicago (ORD), and Boston also offer frequent nonstop service, primarily on American Airlines, though Delta, United, Frontier, and Southwest serve some routes. For travelers not near a nonstop city, connecting through a hub like Atlanta or Chicago is a practical one-stop option. Most people choose their departure city based on proximity and flight frequency, with smaller regional airports often providing the most convenient access.",
        "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.",
