        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Ottawa?",
        "answer": "Eight U.S. cities offer nonstop flights to Ottawa: New York (Newark), Washington (Dulles), Chicago (O'Hare), Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Boston, Tampa, and Fort Myers. New York has the most frequent service with up to 87 weekly flights on United and Porter Airlines, followed by Washington and Chicago. Travellers typically choose the nearest gateway with a nonstop option, but those farther away can connect through these hubs or via Toronto on Air Canada; the best choice balances drive time to the departure airport against total trip duration 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.",
