        "question": "From which U.S. cities can I fly to Dublin?",
        "answer": "There are 21 US cities with nonstop flights to Dublin, with New York (JFK) offering the most frequent service at 199 weekly flights on Aer Lingus, United, JetBlue, and Delta. Other major gateways include Boston (108 weekly flights on Aer Lingus, JetBlue, Delta), Chicago (89 weekly on Aer Lingus, United, American), and Washington Dulles (78 weekly on Aer Lingus and United). Travelers typically choose a departure city based on proximity and flight availability, with hubs like Dallas, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and Atlanta also providing nonstop options, while one-stop connections through major European hubs like London or Amsterdam are available from smaller US airports.",
        "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.",
