        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Miami?",
        "answer": "You can fly nonstop to Miami from 79 cities across the United States, with major hubs like New York (JFK), Atlanta, Chicago O'Hare, and Washington D.C. offering the most frequent service on carriers such as American, Delta, United, and Southwest. From New York alone there are over 670 weekly flights, while Atlanta, Chicago, and Washington each have over 230. Most travelers simply choose the nearest major airport with nonstop service, as the sheer volume of flights from cities like New York, Atlanta, and Chicago makes it easy to find a convenient schedule, though one-stop connections through those hubs are also widely available from smaller regional airports.",
        "methodology": "The U.S. departure cities with nonstop service to this destination and their weekly frequencies come 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 U.S. airport with scheduled nonstop service, group airports into their metropolitan areas, and rank cities by scheduled weekly departures.",

From cities without nonstops, like Los Angeles, a one-stop connection typically adds a couple of hours, making the total journey around 5 to 7 hours. Return times are generally similar, though headwinds from Miami can add a few minutes on westbound legs.",
