        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Newark to San Salvador?",
        "answer": "The flight from Newark to San Salvador is about 2,090 miles and typically takes 5 hours and 8 minutes. The return flight is shorter at 4 hours and 45 minutes, a difference of 23 minutes due to prevailing winds.",
        "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.",

      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Newark to San Salvador?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are two airlines flying non‑stop from Newark to San Salvador. United operates up to 28 flights a week, with multiple daily departures every day of the week, while Volaris El Salvador (N3) runs three flights a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, departing at 6:30 AM. The flight takes about 5 hours and 8 minutes on average.",
        "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 San Salvador?",
        "answer": "From San Salvador's Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport (SAL), taxis and ride‑share services are the most common and practical way to reach the city center; the airport is connected to the capital by a four‑lane motorway, and the drive to San Salvador takes about 30 minutes. There is no direct rail link, and while public buses exist, they are generally not recommended for visitors due to safety and reliability concerns. Car rentals are available at the airport, but navigating local traffic can be challenging. For most travelers, a pre‑arranged taxi or ride‑share is the fastest and most‑used option.",

        "question": "How do I get to Liberty Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "To reach Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) from downtown Newark, you can take NJ Transit or Amtrak trains from Newark Penn Station to the airport's rail station, then transfer to the AirTrain monorail for terminal access. Express buses and authorized shuttles also run from central locations, while taxis and ride‑share apps like Uber or Lyft offer door‑to‑terminal convenience. Driving and parking at the airport is straightforward, with short‑term and long‑term lots connected by the AirTrain. The train‑plus‑AirTrain combo is the most popular and often the fastest option during peak traffic, while taxis and ride‑shares are pricier but more direct.",
