        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Pereira?",
        "answer": "From the United States, the only nonstop service to Pereira, Colombia (PEI) is from New York (JFK), operated by Avianca with about 8 flights per week and a flight time of roughly 5.5 hours. Travelers from other US cities typically connect via a major hub like Miami, Panama City, or Bogotá, with common one-stop options on carriers such as American, Copa, or Avianca. When choosing a departure city, most people pick the nearest major airport that offers the best combination of schedule and fare, with New York being the sole gateway for a direct flight.",
        "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.",
