        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Lisbon?",
        "answer": "Eight US cities have nonstop flights to Lisbon: New York (JFK), Boston (BOS), Washington, D.C. (IAD), Philadelphia (PHL), Miami (MIA), San Francisco (SFO), Chicago (ORD), and Los Angeles (LAX). New York offers the most flights, with 133 weekly departures on TAP Air Portugal, United, and Delta, while Los Angeles has the fewest at 10 weekly on TAP. Most routes are red-eyes except for Miami, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Travelers typically choose the nearest nonstop gateway, but one-stop connections via major European hubs like London or Madrid are also widely available for those living farther from these 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.",
