        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Amman to New York City?",
        "answer": "The flight from Amman to New York City is about 5,730 miles and typically takes 11 hours 55 minutes nonstop. The return leg is shorter, at 11 hours, owing to prevailing winds. Royal Jordanian operates the route daily.",
        "methodology": "Flight times and distances come 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). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.",

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Amman to New York City?",
        "answer": "Royal Jordanian flies nonstop from Amman to New York JFK with 22 weekly flights, operating daily. The typical flight time is around 11 hours 55 minutes eastbound, with return flights clocking in about 55 minutes shorter due to prevailing winds.",
        "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. 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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in New York City?",
        "answer": "From JFK, the fastest and most-used option to Manhattan is the AirTrain plus subway or Long Island Rail Road, taking about 50–75 minutes. Licensed yellow taxis offer a flat fare to Manhattan and are readily available, while ride-share services like Uber and Lyft have designated pickup areas. Rental cars are accessible via the AirTrain at Federal Circle, though driving into the city is often slower and parking is expensive. Shared shuttles and private car services provide mid-range alternatives, and a helicopter transfer is available for a premium, minutes-long trip.",

        "question": "How do I get to Queen Alia Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "To reach Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) from downtown Amman, the most popular and fastest option is a taxi or ride‑share, which takes about 30–40 minutes and costs a moderate fare. The Amman Bus network offers a much cheaper public bus service, though it is slower and less direct. There is no dedicated airport shuttle train, but the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lines can connect you to bus hubs for onward travel. Driving yourself is possible, with short‑ and long‑term parking available at the airport.",
