        "question": "From which U.S. cities can I fly to Bucharest?",
        "answer": "The only US city with a nonstop flight to Bucharest is New York (JFK), operated by HiSky with about 4 weekly flights and a flight time around 8 hours 50 minutes. For travelers from other US cities, common one-stop routes connect through major European hubs like Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris, or Istanbul, or via New York itself for those who can position there. Choosing a departure city usually depends on proximity to a major international airport and the availability of one-stop itineraries; those near New York benefit from the nonstop, while others typically connect through a European gateway.",
        "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.",
