        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Kathmandu to Dallas?",
        "answer": "Kathmandu to Dallas is about 8,250 miles. There is no nonstop service on this route, so the journey requires at least one connection; total travel time is typically around 20 to 24 hours, depending on layovers.",
        "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": "At Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), you have several ground transportation options to reach the city center. Taxis, ride-share services, and rental cars are all readily available from the terminals, offering direct and flexible travel. Public transit is a standout option, with the DART Orange Line connecting Terminal A directly to downtown Dallas, while the TEXRail and DART Silver Line serve Terminal B for routes to Fort Worth and northern suburbs. The Trinity Railway Express (TRE), accessible via a shuttle, also links Dallas and Fort Worth. The DART rail is the most used and often fastest way to avoid traffic, with trains running frequently throughout the day.",

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Dallas?",
        "answer": "Dallas has two main airports. Dallas/Fort Worth International is the primary hub, located about 20 miles from downtown, serving as a major base for American Airlines and offering extensive domestic and international connections. Dallas Love Field is closer to downtown, about 6 miles away, primarily serving Southwest Airlines with domestic flights and a few international routes to Mexico and the Caribbean."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Tribhuvan Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From central Kathmandu, the most practical way to reach Tribhuvan International Airport is by taxi or ride‑share, which take about 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. Metered taxis are widely available and relatively affordable for the short distance, while ride‑hailing apps like Pathao or Tootle offer a similar door‑to‑door service with upfront pricing. Public buses do serve the airport corridor but are crowded and infrequent, making them the least convenient option. There is no dedicated airport shuttle bus, and driving yourself is not recommended due to limited and costly parking.",
