        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Orlando to Bogotá?",
        "answer": "The nonstop flight from Orlando to Bogotá is about 1,710 miles and typically takes 4 hours 0 minutes. The return leg is slightly longer at 4 hours 15 minutes, a difference driven by 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.",

        "answer": "Avianca and LATAM Airlines both fly nonstop from Orlando to Bogotá, with daily service on each. Avianca operates up to 42 weekly flights with departures spread across the afternoon, while LATAM offers 28 weekly flights. Typical fares run around $474 on Avianca and $675 on LATAM.",
        "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. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Bogotá?",
        "answer": "At El Dorado International Airport (BOG), the most efficient and widely used option to reach Bogotá's city center is the TransMilenio bus rapid transit system, with the Portal Eldorado station connected directly to the airport via feeder routes. Official white taxis are readily available and offer a faster, fixed-rate ride, while ride-sharing apps like Uber and Cabify also operate but may involve slightly longer waits. Car rentals are present at the airport, though driving in Bogotá's heavy traffic can be challenging for visitors. The TransMilenio is generally the most used due to its dedicated lanes and affordability, but taxis are the quickest door-to-door choice.",

For example, United offers a connection through Houston (IAH) where the IAH→BOG leg departs at 11:59 PM and arrives at 4:54 AM, which lands in the early hours.",
        "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.",

Panama City provides efficient transfers with Copa Airlines’ hub and visa‑free transit for many nationalities. Atlanta adds broad connectivity on Delta, though it may lengthen the trip slightly."

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Orlando Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Orlando, you can take the public Lynx bus (Link 11, 42, or 111) to the airport, or use a shared shuttle service like Mears Transportation. Ride‑share apps and taxis provide a direct door‑to‑terminal option, while driving yourself means choosing between on‑airport garages and cheaper off‑site lots with shuttle connections. The fastest and most popular choice is typically a ride‑share or taxi, taking about 20 to 30 minutes, while the bus is the most budget‑friendly but takes longer.",

The Courtyard shuttle runs hourly from 5:00 AM to 6:00 PM and every 30 minutes from 7:00 PM to midnight, while the Aloft shuttle operates hourly from the airport between 5:30 AM and 11:30 PM.

The Club MCO has two locations—one in Terminal A, Airside 1 (near gates 1–29) and one in Terminal B, Airside 4—both open 5:00 AM–9:00 PM with a paid bar and light refreshments, accepting Priority Pass and day passes. The Plaza Premium Lounge in Terminal C is a newer space with shower suites and a la carte dining, open to all passengers for a fee or via select credit cards.
