        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Morelia?",
        "answer": "You can fly nonstop to Morelia (MLM) from eight US cities: Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), Houston (IAH), Chicago (MDW), Sacramento (SMF), Oakland (OAK), Los Angeles (LAX), Ontario (ONT), and San Jose (SJC). Dallas offers the most flights (67 weekly on American and Volaris), followed by Houston (31 on United and Volaris); all other nonstops are on Volaris. For travelers not near these gateways, one-stop connections are widely available via major hubs like Mexico City, Dallas, or Houston on a variety of US and Mexican carriers. Choosing a departure city usually means picking the closest nonstop option if you’re near one of these eight, or connecting through a larger hub for more schedule flexibility.",
        "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.",
