        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Boston to Reykjavík?",
        "answer": "The flight from Boston to Reykjavík is about 2,410 miles and typically takes 5 hours 10 minutes. The return leg is longer at 5 hours 50 minutes due to prevailing winds, so plan for a bit more time coming back.",
        "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 Boston to Reykjavík?",
        "answer": "Yes, Icelandair flies nonstop from Boston to Reykjavík with 35 weekly flights — daily service, with up to seven departures a day ranging from late morning to late evening. The flight takes about 5 hours 10 minutes eastbound and around 5 hours 50 minutes on the return.",
        "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 Reykjavík?",
        "answer": "From Keflavík International Airport (KEF), the most common way to reach Reykjavík city center is by bus—Flybus and Airport Express offer frequent, reliable coach service that meets arriving flights and takes about 45 minutes. Taxis are available but expensive for the 50 km journey, and ride-share services like Uber are not widely available. Car rentals are easy to arrange at the airport and give flexibility for exploring beyond the city, though parking in Reykjavík can be costly. There is no train service from the airport. The bus is by far the most used option for its balance of cost and convenience.",
