        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Minneapolis?",
        "answer": "You can fly nonstop to Minneapolis–St. Paul (MSP) from 119 cities across the United States, with the most frequent departures from Chicago O'Hare (over 600 weekly flights on Southwest, Delta, American, and United), Denver, New York (Newark), Phoenix, and Dallas. Other major nonstop gateways include Orlando, Washington (Reagan National), Charlotte, Las Vegas, Seattle, Austin, and many Midwestern cities like Madison, Milwaukee, and St. Louis. While nonstop service is widespread, one-stop connections via Delta's hub in Atlanta or other major airports offer additional flexibility for travelers from smaller cities. Travelers typically choose a departure city based on proximity, flight frequency, and the airlines serving their local airport, with hub cities like Chicago and Denver providing the most options and often the best schedules.",
        "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.",
