        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from León to Tijuana?",
        "answer": "The flight from León to Tijuana is about 1,240 miles and typically takes 3 hours in the outbound direction. The return leg is about 2 hours 56 minutes, a difference of only a few minutes, so the duration is effectively the same both ways.",
        "methodology": "Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.",

        "answer": "Yes, Volaris (Y4) and Viva Aerobus (VB) fly nonstop from León (BJX) to Tijuana (TIJ), both operating daily. Volaris runs four flights a day (around 7:00 AM, 2:35 PM, 5:06 PM, and 10:28 PM) while Viva Aerobus runs two (6:50 AM and 10:35 PM), with the typical flight taking about three hours. Both carriers also offer overnight red‑eye departures on the late evening flights.",

We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports.

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Tijuana?",
        "answer": "Tijuana Airport is about 5 km northeast of downtown, so taxis and ride‑sharing services are the quickest and most popular ways into the city. Authorized taxi stands are outside the terminal and offer fixed‑rate trips, while Uber and Didi also operate in the area. There is no direct mass‑transit link from the airport, but local buses and colectivos run along nearby Boulevard Cuauhtémoc for budget‑minded travelers. Car rental counters from major agencies are available in the terminal, and driving into the city center takes roughly 10–15 minutes. Most passengers opt for a taxi or ride‑share for the best balance of speed and convenience.",

Viva Aerobus operates a daily red‑eye departing around 10:35 PM, and Volaris also runs a daily red‑eye departing around 10:28 PM. Both are nonstop and arrive the same night — these are late evening departures on a relatively short route, so they land before midnight.",

        "question": "How do I get to Del Bajío Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Getting to Del Bajío International Airport (BJX) from downtown León is easiest by authorized taxi or ride‑share, which take about 25–35 minutes and are the fastest door‑to‑door options. Unebus runs scheduled buses from León (stops include Puerta del Milenio, Sams Centro Max, and Chedraui Poliforum) between 4:10 a.m. and 11:30 p.m., offering a more economical choice. You can also book a shared or private shuttle through BajioGo, which serves the wider region on demand. Driving and parking are straightforward—the airport is just off the highway southeast of León with official parking lots right at the terminal.",
