        "question": "From which U.S. cities can I fly to Cali?",
        "answer": "Two US cities offer nonstop flights to Cali: Miami (MIA) and New York (JFK). Miami is the primary gateway, with up to 91 weekly nonstops on American Airlines and Avianca, a flight time of about 3 hours 53 minutes. New York provides a secondary nonstop option on Avianca, with around 10 weekly flights and a longer duration of roughly 6 hours. Travelers from other US regions typically connect through Miami or via Avianca's hub in Bogotá, choosing their departure city based on proximity and the frequency of connections available.",
        "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 other major US cities, typical one-stop itineraries add a few hours of connection time, with total travel often ranging from 7 to 10 hours depending on the layover. Return flights from Cali to the US are generally similar in duration, though headwinds can sometimes make the northbound leg slightly longer.",
