        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Portland?",
        "answer": "You can fly nonstop to Portland from 69 U.S. cities, with Seattle, Denver, Phoenix, Chicago, and San Francisco offering the most frequent service. Major airlines like Alaska, Delta, United, Southwest, and American operate these routes, with flight times ranging from about an hour from Seattle to over six hours from New York or Boston. Travelers typically choose a departure city based on proximity and flight availability, as nonstop options are widespread from the West Coast, Midwest, and major hubs across the country. For those not near a nonstop gateway, one-stop connections through hubs like Denver, Phoenix, or Seattle are common and practical.",

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.",
