        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Fort Myers to Montréal?",
        "answer": "The flight from Fort Myers to Montréal is about 1,380 miles. Nonstop service is operated by Porter Airlines on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, with a typical flight time of 3 hours 40 minutes. The return leg takes around 3 hours 50 minutes.",
        "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": "From Montréal-Trudeau (YUL) to downtown, the most popular option is the STM 747 Express bus, which runs 24/7 and costs $11 CAD for a single fare. Taxis are available with a fixed fare of $49.45 to downtown between 5 a.m. and 11 p.m., or $56.70 overnight. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft also operate from designated pickup zones. Car rentals are on-site, and a future REM light-rail link is under construction. The 747 bus is the most-used public transit choice, while taxis offer the fastest door-to-door trip.",

There is one connecting overnight itinerary: Delta flies the red-eye leg from Atlanta to Montréal, departing at 21:15 and arriving at 23:52 the same night, with a short layover in Atlanta after the inbound from Fort Myers.",
        "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.",

      "q14": {
        "question": "Are there hotels or sleeping facilities at Montréal airport?",
        "answer": "Montréal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) does not have an on-site hotel, capsule hotel, or sleeping pods inside the terminal.

The shorter connecting leg typically uses regional jets like the Canadair Regional Jet 900, Embraer 175, or occasionally a turboprop (De Havilland Dash 8), and the exact aircraft can vary by day and airline. Wi‑Fi and seatback entertainment are widely available on these aircraft, though the specifics depend on the carrier and the particular plane.",
