        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Lagos?",
        "answer": "Only three US cities offer nonstop flights to Lagos: Atlanta (ATL), Washington, D.C. (IAD), and New York (JFK). Delta flies nonstop from Atlanta and New York, while United operates from Washington Dulles, with Atlanta having the most flights at 66 per week. Travelers elsewhere in the US typically connect through these hubs or through major European or Middle Eastern gateways like London, Frankfurt, or Dubai. Choosing a departure city depends on proximity to these hubs and the availability of one-stop itineraries, with Atlanta offering the highest frequency for those in the Southeast.",
        "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.",
