        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Cairo to Amman?",
        "answer": "Flights from Cairo to Amman cover about 290 miles and typically take 1 hour 20 minutes nonstop, with the return leg slightly longer at 1 hour 30 minutes. EgyptAir, Royal Jordanian, and Air Cairo operate direct service on this route.",
        "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, non‑stop flights from Cairo to Amman run daily on both EgyptAir (MS) and Royal Jordanian (RJ), with a typical flight time of about 80 minutes. Air Cairo (SM) also flies the route non‑stop but only on Wednesdays and Fridays. Combined, the three carriers offer dozens of departures spread throughout the day and night.",

        "answer": "From Queen Alia International Airport (AMM), the fastest and most-used option is a taxi or ride-hailing service, taking about 35–45 minutes to the city center. The airport is also served by the modern Amman Bus and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) network, which connects to key parts of the city via air-conditioned buses with free Wi-Fi. Car rentals are available at the airport, though driving in Amman’s heavy traffic can be challenging. No direct rail link exists, but shared shuttles are occasionally offered by hotels.",

        "answer": "Yes, overnight red-eye flights are available nonstop from Cairo to Amman on Royal Jordanian, with departures at 21:40 and 22:50 operating daily. Both departures land the same night — the flight is short enough that even a late-evening departure arrives before midnight.",
        "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.",

Specific median fares aren't listed for this route, so typical prices aren't available here.",

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.",

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Cairo Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From central Cairo, the most popular way to reach Cairo International Airport is by ride-hailing app or taxi, which is the fastest door-to-door option. Public buses run from various downtown points and are very inexpensive, though they can be slow in traffic. There is no direct metro line to the airport, but you can take the Cairo Metro to a station like Heliopolis and connect to a bus or taxi. Driving yourself is possible with parking at the airport, but navigating Cairo's heavy traffic can be stressful.",
