        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Nice?",
        "answer": "Five US cities offer nonstop flights to Nice: New York (JFK) with up to 65 weekly flights on La Compagnie, United, Air France, and Delta; Philadelphia (PHL) with 32 weekly flights on American; Washington (IAD) with 8 weekly flights on United; Atlanta (ATL) with daily service on Delta; and Los Angeles (LAX) with one weekly flight on Air France. Travelers from other regions typically connect through these hubs or major European airports like Paris, London, or Frankfurt. The choice of departure city depends on proximity, with New York providing the most frequency and airline options, while those on the West Coast might opt for the limited LAX nonstop or connect via a larger hub.",
        "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.",
