        "question": "From which U.S. cities can I fly to Windsor Locks?",
        "answer": "You can fly nonstop to Hartford's Bradley International Airport from 36 cities across the United States, with the busiest routes departing from Chicago O'Hare, Washington D.C. (primarily Reagan National), and Baltimore. Other major nonstop gateways include Orlando, Charlotte, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Dallas/Fort Worth, Tampa, Detroit, and Denver, with typical flight times ranging from just over an hour from Philadelphia to nearly four hours from Denver. Travelers typically choose a departure city based on proximity and flight frequency—those near a major hub like Chicago or Atlanta will find multiple daily options on carriers like United, American, Delta, and Southwest, while smaller cities like Raleigh-Durham or Norfolk offer fewer weekly flights, often on a single airline like Breeze. For anyone not near a nonstop gateway, one-stop connections through these large hubs are widely available, making Hartford easily reachable from virtually anywhere in the country.",
        "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.",
