        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Denver to Kathmandu?",
        "answer": "The flight from Denver to Kathmandu is about 7,725 miles and has no scheduled nonstop service, so the journey requires a connection. A typical one-stop itinerary takes approximately 24 to 30 hours total travel time, 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 Kathmandu?",
        "answer": "At Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM), the primary ground transportation to central Kathmandu is by taxi, as there is no mass transit or rail link. Prepaid taxi counters are available inside the terminal, offering fixed fares to the city center; the journey is roughly 6 km and can take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic. Ride‑share apps like Pathao and inDrive operate in the city, but their pick‑up at the airport is less formalized than the prepaid taxi system. Car rentals are present but rarely used for the short transfer into town, and no dedicated airport bus serves the route. The prepaid taxi is the most used and reliable option for visitors.",

December ($569), June ($548), and July ($538) are the priciest months overall.",
        "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.",

Because the route is not covered by the fare aggregate, typical per‑carrier fares are not provided.",

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.",

        "answer": "To reach Denver International Airport (DEN) from downtown, the A Line commuter train is the fastest and most popular option, taking about 37 minutes from Denver Union Station and costing $10.50. Public buses like route 104L are cheaper but slower, while ride‑share (Uber/Lyft) and taxis offer door‑to‑door convenience at a higher cost, typically $40–$60. Driving yourself is another option, with on‑airport parking available in economy lots, garages, or valet service.",
