        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Port of Spain?",
        "answer": "You can fly nonstop to Port of Spain from five U.S. cities: Miami (MIA) is the largest gateway with up to 126 weekly flights on American Airlines and Caribbean Airlines, followed by New York (JFK) with 90 weekly flights on Caribbean Airlines and JetBlue. Houston (IAH) has 22 weekly United flights, while Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Orlando (MCO) offer limited Caribbean Airlines service. Travelers typically choose the departure city closest to them or with the most frequent flights, and for those not near a nonstop gateway, one-stop connections are widely available through these hubs or other U.S. airports.",
        "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.",
