        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Accra to Lagos?",
        "answer": "The flight from Accra to Lagos covers about 250 miles and typically takes 1 hour 5 minutes nonstop. The return flight is also around 1 hour 5 minutes, so there's no meaningful difference between directions.",
        "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.",

Together they offer about 36 weekly non‑stops, with a typical flight time around 65 minutes. The route is well served, with departures spread from early morning through late evening, including a couple of overnight flights on P4.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Lagos?",
        "answer": "From Murtala Muhammed International Airport, the most common way to reach central Lagos is by taxi or ride‑hailing service (Uber and Bolt operate in the city). Official airport taxis are available at the terminal, while ride‑share apps often offer a more predictable fare. There is no direct rail or bus rapid transit from the airport itself, though Lagos’s BRT and danfo (minibus) networks serve the wider area once you reach the main road. The fastest door‑to‑door option is a pre‑booked ride or a metered taxi, and ride‑hailing is the most used choice among regular travelers.",

        "answer": "From central Accra, the most popular ways to reach Kotoka International Airport are by taxi or ride‑share (Uber, Bolt, Yango), which are widely available and take about 15–30 minutes depending on traffic. Metered taxis are less common, so agree on a fare beforehand; ride‑share apps offer upfront pricing and are generally the most convenient option. Public buses (trotros) serve the airport but can be crowded and less predictable, while dedicated airport shuttles from major hotels provide a comfortable middle ground. Driving yourself is possible with short‑term parking at the terminals, but navigating Accra traffic can be challenging for visitors.",
