        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from New York City to Abidjan?",
        "answer": "The flight from New York JFK to Abidjan is about 4,930 miles and typically takes 9 hours 35 minutes nonstop on Ethiopian Airlines. The return leg is longer at 10 hours 30 minutes, a difference of 55 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.",

        "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.

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Abidjan?",
        "answer": "From Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport, taxis are the most common and practical way to reach central Abidjan, about 16 km northwest. There is no direct rail or mass transit link, but SOTRA public buses serve the area, though they can be crowded and less convenient with luggage. Ride-hailing apps like Yango operate in Abidjan and offer a reliable alternative to street taxis. Car rentals are available at the airport from international and local agencies, but driving can be challenging for visitors. Taxis remain the most used option for the roughly 30–45 minute trip.",

        "question": "How do I get to John F Kennedy Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From Midtown Manhattan, the fastest and most popular option is the Long Island Rail Road to Jamaica Station, then transfer to the AirTrain JFK — the whole trip takes about 45 minutes and is cheaper than a taxi. The subway (E train to Sutphin Blvd–Archer Av–JFK) is the most budget-friendly public transit route, though it takes longer. Yellow taxis offer a flat fare from Manhattan, while ride-share apps like Uber and Lyft pick up at designated areas outside each terminal. Driving and parking are possible, with on-airport lots connected by AirTrain, but traffic can be unpredictable.",
