        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Beacon Hill?",
        "answer": "You can fly nonstop to Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) near Beacon Hill from eight U.S. cities: Miami (MIA) on American, New York (JFK) on United, Delta, JetBlue, and American, Charlotte (CLT) on American, Atlanta (ATL) on Delta and Frontier, Philadelphia (PHL) on American, Boston (BOS) on JetBlue, Fort Lauderdale (FLL) on JetBlue, and Orlando (MCO) on Southwest. Miami and New York offer the most frequent service, with over 150 weekly flights each, making them the most practical hubs for travelers across the country. If you're not near one of these gateways, common one-stop connections route through these hubs or nearby Caribbean islands like San Juan (SJU), and your choice will depend on your closest major airport and the available flight schedules.",
        "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.",
