        "answer": "From Tirana International Airport, the fastest way to the city center is by taxi, which is widely available and the most-used option. There’s also a shuttle service (GoOpti) and a public bus line directly serving the airport. Car rentals are plentiful, with on-site providers and a large local marketplace. Ride-sharing apps are not officially present, so taxis remain the go-to for door-to-door convenience.",

        "question": "Which airlines usually operate this route from Jacksonville to Tirana?",
        "answer": "There are no non‑stop flights between Jacksonville (JAX) and Tirana (TIA), and no one‑stop connecting patterns were found for this route — most itineraries require at least two connections. Because the published schedule does not show any direct or single‑connection routings, there are no specific carriers or frequencies to report for this city pair. Travelers typically connect through major European hubs such as Frankfurt, Istanbul, or Vienna, but exact airlines and fares are not available from current schedule data.",
        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies 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). 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.",

Frankfurt provides extensive transatlantic options from Jacksonville. Vienna is a compact hub with quick connections to the Balkans. All allow visa‑free transit for eligible nationalities."

        "question": "What documents should I bring with me to the airport when flying from Jacksonville to Tirana?",
        "answer": "Bring a passport valid for at least three months beyond your planned stay, any required Albanian visa or e-visa authorization, proof of onward or return travel, a payment method for baggage, and check if vaccination certificates are needed."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Tirana?",
        "answer": "Tirana has one primary airport, Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza, located about 17 km northwest of the city centre. It serves as the main gateway for both domestic and international flights, hosting full‑service and low‑cost carriers with connections across Europe and the Middle East."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Jacksonville Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Jacksonville International Airport is about 9 miles north of downtown, with rideshare and taxis being the fastest and most popular options, typically taking 15–25 minutes. The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) operates limited bus service, but there is no direct rail link, so public transit is slower and less convenient. Driving and parking at the airport is straightforward, with several on-site lots and a free cell phone waiting lot, while off-site parking can be cheaper. Overall, rideshare or a taxi is fastest, while driving and parking offers flexibility at moderate cost.",
