        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Nairobi?",
        "answer": "Travelers from the United States can fly nonstop to Nairobi from New York (JFK) on Kenya Airways, with around 7 weekly flights and a typical flight time of about 13.5 hours. For those outside the New York area, common one‑stop options connect via major European or Middle Eastern hubs such as London, Amsterdam, Dubai, or Doha, offering extensive schedules from most large U.S. cities. The choice of departure city typically depends on proximity to a gateway with good connections; New York provides the only direct service, while other travelers balance convenience, total travel time, and fare when selecting a connecting itinerary.",
        "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.",
