        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Milan?",
        "answer": "You can fly nonstop to Milan from five U.S. cities: New York (JFK) has the most flights at 130 per week on carriers like United, Delta, American, and Emirates; Boston (BOS) with 30 weekly flights on JetBlue and Delta; Chicago (ORD) with 28 weekly flights on United; Philadelphia (PHL) with 21 weekly flights on American; and Atlanta (ATL) with 15 weekly flights on Delta. Red-eye flights are available from New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. Travelers typically choose a departure city based on proximity and flight frequency, with New York being the dominant gateway, but those in the Midwest or Southeast might prefer Chicago or Atlanta for convenience despite fewer 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.",
