        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Fort Lauderdale?",
        "answer": "You can fly nonstop to Fort Lauderdale from 79 US cities, with the busiest gateways being New York (EWR), Atlanta (ATL), Chicago (MDW), Baltimore (BWI), and Washington (DCA). Carriers like United, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, and American operate these routes, with flight times ranging from about 70 minutes from Orlando to nearly 6 hours from Seattle.

Travelers typically pick a departure city based on proximity—those in the Northeast have abundant nonstop options, while those in the West often connect through a hub for more frequent and affordable flights.",
        "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.",
