        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Calgary?",
        "answer": "There are nonstop flights to Calgary from 31 US cities, with the most frequent departures from Chicago (ORD), Dallas (DFW), and Seattle (SEA) — Seattle offering the shortest flight at about 1 hour 40 minutes and the only red‑eye option. Other major nonstop gateways include Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, New York (JFK), Palm Springs, and Denver, served primarily by WestJet, United, American, and Alaska Airlines. For travelers not near a nonstop city, common one‑stop connections are available through US hubs like Denver, Chicago, or Seattle, or via Canadian hubs such as Vancouver or Toronto. Choosing a departure city usually comes down to proximity and frequency — those near a large hub like Chicago or Dallas benefit from multiple daily flights, while others may connect through a nearby major airport for convenience.",
        "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.",

      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from United States to Calgary?",
        "answer": "Nonstop flights to Calgary from the United States typically take about 1 hour 40 minutes from Seattle, 2 hours 50 minutes from San Francisco, and around 3 hours 55 minutes from Chicago or Dallas. From other major cities without nonstop service, such as New York or Boston, a one-stop connection usually adds 2 to 4 hours to the journey, resulting in total travel times of roughly 7 to 9 hours depending on the layover. Outbound and return flight durations are generally similar, though headwinds can add 15–30 minutes on westbound legs.",
