        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Fresno to Guadalajara?",
        "answer": "The flight from Fresno to Guadalajara is about 1,500 miles and typically takes 3 hours and 32 minutes nonstop. The return leg is longer at 4 hours and 0 minutes 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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Guadalajara?",
        "answer": "At Guadalajara Airport (GDL), the most reliable way into the city center is by pre-booked private transfer or taxi; shared shuttles are not currently offered. Uber and other ride-share services do not operate at the airport, so authorized taxis and private cars are the main options. Car rentals are available and can be economical for longer stays, with rates starting around $10 per day. A private sedan transfer to central Guadalajara costs about $60 USD and is the fastest, most-used choice for travelers without a rental car. Public transit is not directly available at the terminal, so a private vehicle or taxi is necessary for the roughly 17 km trip downtown.",
