        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Chicago to Tashkent?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop flights scheduled between Chicago and Tashkent, so travelers must connect. The route is about 6,520 miles. A typical connecting journey takes roughly 18 to 22 hours total, depending on the layover.",
        "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": "What are the ground transportation options in Tashkent?",
        "answer": "Tashkent International Airport is about 12 km from the city center. Taxis are the most common option and can be hailed outside the terminal, but agree on a fare beforehand or use a ride-hailing app like Yandex Go for a fixed price. Public buses also serve the airport, but they are slower and less convenient with luggage. The Tashkent Metro does not directly reach the airport, so a taxi or bus is needed to connect to a metro station. Car rentals are available but less popular due to local driving conditions and affordable taxi fares.",

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Tashkent?",

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Dupage County from the city center?",
        "answer": "Chicago DuPage Airport (DPA) is about 29 miles west of downtown Chicago, and the most practical way to get there is by driving or taking a taxi or ride‑share, which takes roughly 40–60 minutes depending on traffic. There is no direct rail service, but you can combine a Metra Union Pacific West Line train to West Chicago with a short taxi or ride‑share to the airport. Public buses are not a direct option, and parking at the airport is plentiful and relatively affordable compared to O'Hare or Midway.",
