        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Salt Lake City?",
        "answer": "There are nonstop flights to Salt Lake City from 90 cities across the US, with the busiest routes from Denver, Phoenix, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Seattle. These flights are operated by a mix of carriers including Delta, Southwest, Frontier, United, American, and Alaska, with flight times ranging from about 1.5 hours from Denver or Phoenix to just over 5 hours from New York. For travelers not near a nonstop gateway, common one-stop connections are available via major hubs like Denver, Dallas, or Chicago. Most travelers choose a departure city based on proximity and flight frequency, as larger hubs offer more daily options and often lower fares.",
        "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.",
