        "question": "Which U.S. cities can I fly from to reach Egypt?",
        "answer": "From the United States, New York JFK offers the only non-stop flights to Cairo. Other major departure cities include Los Angeles, Chicago O'Hare, Washington Dulles and Houston, with one-stop connections via European hubs like London, Paris, Frankfurt or Istanbul, or Middle Eastern hubs such as Doha and Dubai. Travellers often choose JFK for direct access, while those from the West Coast or Midwest may find competitive fares and schedules through major connecting airports."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Which airports in Egypt are the best to fly into?",
        "answer": "From the United States, Cairo International Airport is the primary gateway to Egypt, handling nearly all long-haul arrivals. It offers extensive domestic flights to Luxor, Aswan, and Red Sea resorts. Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh receive some direct charters and seasonal services, mainly for beach holidays, but lack the same onward connections."
      },
      "q2": {
        "question": "How long is the flight to Egypt?",
        "answer": "Non-stop flights from New York JFK to Cairo take about 10 to 11 hours eastbound and roughly 11 to 12 hours westbound. From Los Angeles or Chicago, one-stop trips via European or Middle Eastern hubs typically total 15 to 20 hours depending on layovers."
      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "Are there direct flights to Egypt?",
        "answer": "Direct flights operate from the United States to Egypt, with EgyptAir flying non-stop from New York (JFK) to Cairo (CAI). Other non-stop routes, such as from Washington Dulles (IAD) to Cairo, may be seasonal or limited. When non-stops are unavailable, common one-stop connections route through European or Middle Eastern hubs with total travel times of 13 to 18 hours."
      },
      "q4": {
        "question": "Which U.S. airports are usually cheapest for flying to Egypt?",
        "answer": "New York JFK and Washington Dulles are often the cheapest US departure points for Egypt because they host direct flights and intense competition among Middle Eastern and European carriers. Travellers from smaller cities typically need a domestic connection to these hubs for the best fares."
      },
      "q5": {
        "question": "Which airlines fly to Egypt?",
        "answer": "EgyptAir and United fly nonstop from the U.S. to Egypt. One-stop options include Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, Emirates, and Lufthansa."
      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel to Egypt?",
        "answer": "United States citizens need a visa to travel to Egypt for tourism, and it can be obtained either as an eVisa applied for online before the trip or as a visa on arrival at the border. The permitted length of stay is 30 days.\n\nThis is general guidance to help you plan, not official immigration advice — entry rules can change and can depend on your nationality and circumstances, so please confirm the current requirements with the relevant embassy or official government source before you travel.",
