        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Boise to Guadalajara?",
        "answer": "Boise to Guadalajara is about 1,760 miles, but there are no nonstop flights on this route. A typical one-stop journey takes roughly 6 to 9 hours total, depending on the connection. Specific flight times vary by airline and layover city.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "Guadalajara Airport (GDL) offers private car transfers (sedans, minivans, and Mercedes Sprinter vans) as the primary ground transportation to the city center, with rates starting at $60 USD for up to three passengers. Taxis and ride-sharing services like Uber are also available, but pre-booked private transfers are the most commonly used and reliable option for visitors. Car rentals are offered starting at $10 USD per day, and while public buses exist, they are less convenient for travelers with luggage. The fastest and most comfortable way is a private transfer, which can be reserved in advance.",

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 typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.",

For a guaranteed connected hotel, other airports like Toronto (YYZ) offer in-terminal options, but at GDL you will need to arrange your own transportation to nearby accommodations.",

The shorter connecting legs are typically flown by Embraer 175s. The exact aircraft can vary by day and airline, but these narrow-body types dominate the route.
