        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Lima?",
        "answer": "From Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM), taxis and ride-sharing services offer the fastest and most reliable way to reach Lima's city center, with the trip to Miraflores taking about 40 minutes. Official airport taxis and registered ride-share cars are readily available outside the terminal and are the most-used option for visitors. Public buses, including the Airport Express Lima and local micros, provide a cheaper alternative, though they are slower and can be crowded. There is no direct rail or metro link from the airport to the city center. Car rentals are available but generally not recommended for tourists due to heavy traffic and aggressive driving conditions in Lima.",

One option connects via Miami, where the overnight MIA→LIM leg on American Airlines departs at 11:30 PM and arrives at 4:10 AM — that's an early-hours arrival, not the next morning.

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Bergstrom Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "CapMetro's high-frequency Route 20 bus provides the most affordable public transit link from downtown Austin to the airport. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft, along with taxis, offer faster door-to-terminal convenience and are the most popular choices, picking up and dropping off at designated curbside areas. Driving and parking on-site is straightforward with economy lots and garages available, though costs are higher than transit. The bus is the cheapest option, while rideshare or taxi is the quickest.",

It offers private FlexiSuites, bunk cabins, and nap pods, though you'll need to pass through passport control and check in again if you're a transit passenger. No shuttle is needed as it's inside the terminal, and nearby hotels with airport shuttle service are also available.",

Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) in Lima, Peru, has limited publicly detailed accessibility information, but as a major international hub operated by Fraport, it typically offers wheelchair assistance and accessible facilities—contact your airline at least 48 hours before travel to arrange services at both airports. For children, AUS does not list dedicated play areas, though the terminal is family-friendly, and LIM’s new terminal may include family amenities; confirming directly with each airport is recommended.",

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. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. 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. Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes — flagging services that depart late at night and arrive the following morning; for connecting itineraries the red-eye is based on the timing of the overnight long-haul leg.",
