        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Athens to Newark?",
        "answer": "The flight from Athens to Newark is about 4,940 miles and typically takes 11 hours 15 minutes nonstop. The return leg is noticeably shorter at 9 hours 20 minutes, reflecting the prevailing tailwinds heading east.",
        "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 Athens to Newark?",
        "answer": "Yes, United and Emirates both fly nonstop from Athens to Newark daily. United operates three daily departures (around 10:25 AM, 11:25 AM, and 12:25 PM) with a flight time of roughly 11 hours 15 minutes, while Emirates also runs three daily flights (departing around 4:20 PM, 5:10 PM, and 5:35 PM) taking about 11 hours. Together they offer 42 nonstop flights per week on the route.",
        "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.",

The most efficient way to reach Manhattan is the AirTrain to NJ Transit or Amtrak trains at the Newark Liberty International Airport Station, which is the most used public transit option. Express buses also serve Manhattan and other points.",

Suburban Railway trains also serve the airport from central stations like Larissis, and a 24-hour express bus (X95) connects Syntagma Square to the airport.
