        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Lagos to Accra?",
        "answer": "The flight from Lagos to Accra is about 250 miles and typically takes around 1 hour 5 minutes. The return leg is equally quick, also about 1 hour 5 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": "The most common way to get from Accra International Airport to the city center is by taxi, with official airport taxis available outside the arrivals hall offering a reliable and relatively fast journey. Ride-sharing services like Uber and Bolt also operate in Accra and can be booked via mobile apps, often at competitive prices. There is no direct mass transit rail link from the airport, but public buses and tro-tros (shared minibuses) are available on the main road outside the airport for budget-conscious travelers, though they can be crowded and less convenient with luggage. Car rental desks are present at the airport from international and local agencies, providing self-drive options for those who prefer independence. Overall, taxis and ride-shares are the most used and offer the best balance of convenience and cost for visitors heading into central Accra.",
