        "question": "From which U.S. cities can I fly to Kingston?",
        "answer": "Four US cities offer nonstop flights to Kingston: New York (JFK), Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Atlanta. JetBlue and Caribbean Airlines serve New York, JetBlue flies from Fort Lauderdale, American from Miami, and Delta from Atlanta. Travelers often pick a departure city based on proximity and flight frequency — New York has the most weekly flights at 206, while Atlanta has fewer at 49. Red‑eye flights are available from New York, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami, but not from Atlanta.",
        "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.",
