        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Guadalajara?",
        "answer": "You can fly nonstop to Guadalajara from 23 US cities, with the most flights from Dallas (DFW), Houston (IAH), and Los Angeles (LAX). Major hubs like Chicago (ORD), Phoenix (PHX), and San Francisco (SFO) also offer frequent service, along with many other cities from Seattle to Miami. Travelers typically choose the nearest major airport to minimize driving, but larger hubs offer more flight choices and lower fares due to competition among airlines like American, United, Volaris, and Aeromexico. If you’re not near a nonstop gateway, connecting through Dallas, Houston, or Los Angeles is a common one-stop option.",
        "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.",
