        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Beijing?",
        "answer": "From Beijing Capital Airport (PEK), the Airport Express train is the fastest and most-used option, connecting directly to the city center via Dongzhimen and Sanyuanqiao. Taxis are readily available at official stands and offer door-to-door convenience, with fares starting around ¥13 plus distance charges. Ride-hailing services like Didi are popular and can be booked via app at designated pickup points. Airport shuttle buses serve multiple city routes at lower cost, and car rentals are available but less common for city transfers. The Airport Express is generally recommended for its speed and reliability.",

        "answer": "Overnight (red‑eye) flights from Boston to Beijing are available as connecting itineraries whose long leg is a red‑eye. On a representative day, United offers a routing via Los Angeles where the LAX→PEK leg departs at 23:35 and arrives at 04:40, landing in the early hours (before morning).",
        "methodology": "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.",

Common one-stop routings include Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong (up to 16 daily connections), United via San Francisco or Los Angeles (about 6 daily), Korean Air via Seoul (2 daily), and Turkish Airlines via Istanbul (2 daily). Other connecting carriers are Japan Airlines via Tokyo, Air China via London, Etihad via Abu Dhabi, and Emirates via Dubai. No per-carrier fares are available for these connecting itineraries.",
        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). 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.",

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Beijing?",
        "answer": "The city has two main airports. Beijing Capital is the older hub and is closer to the city centre, served by most international carriers including Air China. Beijing Daxing is a newer, larger airport further south, acting as a hub for China Southern and China Eastern, with modern facilities and growing international routes."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Logan Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Boston, the fastest and most popular option is the MBTA Blue Line subway, which connects directly to the airport from stations like Government Center, though you'll need to transfer to a free airport shuttle bus from the Airport station. For a more direct ride, the Silver Line SL1 bus runs from South Station straight to the terminals. Taxis and ride‑share services like Uber and Lyft are widely available and typically take 15–25 minutes depending on traffic. Driving and parking is possible but expensive; you can also park at a suburban Logan Express lot and take a shuttle bus to the airport for a lower cost.",
