        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Punta Cana?",
        "answer": "You can fly nonstop to Punta Cana from 25 US cities, with the most flights departing from New York (JFK), Charlotte, Miami, Chicago O'Hare, and Atlanta. New York offers the most service at 471 weekly flights on United, JetBlue, Arajet, American, and Delta, while Miami has the shortest flight time at about 2.5 hours. Other popular gateways include Boston, Philadelphia, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Dallas, Baltimore, Minneapolis, Washington Dulles, Tampa, and Detroit, each with at least one carrier. Travelers typically choose the closest major airport with nonstop service, though connecting through a hub like Miami or Charlotte is common from cities without direct flights, and no red-eye flights are scheduled from any US gateway.",
        "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.",
