        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Halifax?",
        "answer": "You can fly nonstop to Halifax from eight U.S. cities, with the most frequent service from New York (primarily Newark, up to 80 weekly flights on United, Air Canada, Delta, and American), followed by Boston (28 weekly flights on American, Delta, and Air Canada). Other nonstop options include Philadelphia, Orlando, Chicago, Washington (DCA), Fort Lauderdale, and Tampa, with fewer weekly flights. For travelers outside these cities, connecting through hubs like Toronto, Montreal, or the nonstop gateways themselves is common, and the choice often depends on proximity to a departure city and flight frequency.",
        "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.",
