        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Minneapolis?",
        "answer": "There are 119 US cities with nonstop flights to Minneapolis, with the busiest being Chicago (634 weekly flights, about 1.5 hours), Denver (342 weekly, 2 hours), and New York (248 weekly, about 3 hours). Other major nonstop gateways include Phoenix, Dallas, Orlando, Washington, Charlotte, Las Vegas, and Seattle, all served by carriers like Delta, United, American, Southwest, and Frontier. Travelers typically choose a departure city based on proximity and flight frequency, with hubs like Chicago and Denver offering the most options. If you're not near a nonstop city, one-stop connections are widely available through these major hubs.",
        "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.",
