        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Dhaka to New York City?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop flights from Dhaka (DAC) to New York City. The shortest connecting routings are one-stop, typically via Doha (Qatar Airways), Dubai (Emirates), or Abu Dhabi (Etihad), with a typical total journey time around 24 hours. Qatar Airways offers the most frequent one-stop service, while Emirates tends to have the lowest median fare at about $1,460.",
        "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. 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. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in New York City?",
        "answer": "At JFK, the fastest option is a taxi, with a flat fare to Manhattan and availability outside every terminal. The most-used option is the AirTrain combined with the subway or Long Island Rail Road, which is affordable and avoids traffic. Ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft are also popular and pick up at designated areas. Rental cars are available at the Federal Circle station via AirTrain, and shuttle services offer another alternative.",

        "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.",

        "answer": "There are no nonstop flights from Dhaka to New York City. Common one-stop routings are operated by Qatar Airways via Doha, Emirates via Dubai, Etihad Airways via Abu Dhabi, Air India via Delhi, and Gulf Air via Bahrain. Qatar Airways offers the most frequent connections with about 25 weekly flights, while Emirates and Etihad each operate a handful per week.

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in New York City?",
        "answer": "John F. Kennedy handles most international flights and is the primary gateway for long‑haul arrivals. Newark Liberty also serves many international routes and is closer to Midtown Manhattan. LaGuardia is closest to Manhattan but mainly serves domestic routes, making it less relevant for a Dhaka arrival."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Hazrat Shahjalal Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "The most popular and convenient way to reach Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport from central Dhaka is by ride‑sharing apps like Uber, Pathao, or Obhai, which are widely available and generally the fastest option. Metered taxis are also available from a kiosk at the airport, but for the trip to the airport you can hire one from the city center. A dedicated railway station sits right outside the terminal, with commuter trains connecting to Dhaka, offering a low‑cost alternative, though schedules can be limited. Driving yourself is possible via the eight‑lane Airport Road, but parking at the airport is limited.",
