        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Kuwait City to Dubai?",
        "answer": "The flight from Kuwait City to Dubai covers about 530 miles and typically takes 1 hour 55 minutes nonstop. The return leg is slightly shorter at 1 hour 50 minutes, a minor difference from 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.",

Ride-hailing services like Uber, Careem, and Bolt also operate, with clearly marked pickup points. The Dubai Metro is not directly at the airport, but a dedicated bus connects from DXB to Ibn Battuta Metro Station for onward travel. Car rentals are available on-site, and parking facilities exist for those driving. Taxis are the most commonly used option for direct transfers to the city center, which is only about 4.7 km away.",

All four carriers fly daily, with departures spread throughout the day and evening.",

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Dubai?",
        "answer": "Dubai International is the primary airport, located close to the city centre and most attractions. Al Maktoum International at Dubai World Central is farther south, currently used mainly by some low‑cost and cargo carriers, but set to expand in the future."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Kuwait Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Kuwait International Airport is about 15.5 km south of downtown Kuwait City, with no direct rail link, so road transport is the main option. Public buses run by KPTC and CityBus serve the airport on several routes and are the most affordable choice, though they can be slow in traffic. Taxis and ride‑share services like Careem offer a faster, more convenient door‑to‑door trip at a moderate cost, and driving yourself is also possible with paid parking at the terminals. Taxis and ride‑share are generally the most popular for their balance of speed and ease.",
