        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Cartagena to Newark?",
        "answer": "There is no scheduled nonstop service from Cartagena to Newark, so the flight requires a connection, with a typical total journey time of roughly seven to nine hours. The airports are about 2,090 miles apart.",
        "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.",

The AirTrain connects all terminals to the rail station, parking, and rental cars, making rail the fastest and most‑used option for reaching Midtown Manhattan in about 30 minutes. Taxis and ride‑shares provide door‑to‑door convenience, while rental cars are best for exploring beyond the city.",

The cheapest months overall are September (averaging $329), October ($333), and February ($353), while the most expensive period is late December, when averages climb to about $449. December as a whole is the priciest month at $423 on average, followed by July at $413.",
        "methodology": "Seasonal fares come from Priceline's own air booking-summary archive, analysed in-house and refreshed monthly. For each day of the year we take a representative round-trip fare, a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings, and smooth the series into a seasonal curve; the half-month low and high and the monthly figures quoted here are averages of that curve. Thin and international routes borrow their seasonal shape from the nearest busy routes, with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings.",

Avianca offers connections via Medellín (departing 10:40 PM, arriving JFK at 5:20 AM) and Bogotá (departing 11:15 PM, arriving JFK at 6:05 AM); United connects via Panama City (departing 10:55 PM, arriving Newark at 5:14 AM); and American connects via Miami (departing 9:43 PM, arriving Newark at 12:51 AM the same night).",
        "methodology": "Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes — flagging services that depart late at night and arrive the following morning; for connecting itineraries the red-eye is based on the timing of the overnight long-haul leg.",

Per‑carrier fares aren't available for this route, so typical prices aren't listed here.",

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.",

        "question": "How do I get to Rafael Nuñez Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "The most popular and fastest way to reach Rafael Núñez International Airport (CTG) from downtown Cartagena is by taxi, taking about 15–25 minutes and costing around 25,000–35,000 Colombian pesos. Ride‑share apps like Uber, Didi, and Cabify also operate in the city and offer similar convenience at competitive rates. Public buses serving the Crespo neighborhood pass near the airport, but they are slower, less frequent, and not recommended with luggage. Driving and parking are possible, with a paid lot available at the terminal, though most visitors find a taxi or ride‑share far simpler.",
