        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Atlanta to Puerto Plata?",
        "answer": "The flight from Atlanta to Puerto Plata covers about 1,280 miles and typically takes 3 hours and 4 minutes. The return leg, at 3 hours and 36 minutes, is about 32 minutes longer due to prevailing winds.",
        "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.",

Ride-sharing services like Uber are not reliably available, and there is no direct mass transit; some travelers pre-arrange private shuttles or rent a car from agencies at the terminal. Taxis are the fastest and most-used choice, while rental cars provide flexibility for exploring beyond the city.",
