        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Edmonton?",
        "answer": "You can fly nonstop to Edmonton from 15 US cities, with Seattle offering the most flights at 51 per week on Alaska and WestJet. Other major gateways include Las Vegas, Denver, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis, all with daily or near-daily service, plus less frequent options from hubs like Houston, Atlanta, San Francisco, Chicago, and even seasonal flights from Maui and Honolulu. Most routes are on WestJet or United, with flight times ranging from about 2 hours from Seattle to nearly 7 hours from Honolulu. Travelers typically choose the nearest major airport with nonstop service or connect through a larger hub like Seattle or Denver for more flexible 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.",
