        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Los Angeles to Yerevan?",
        "answer": "Los Angeles to Yerevan is about 7,200 miles and has no nonstop flights; the journey requires at least one connection. A typical one-stop itinerary takes roughly 18 to 22 hours total, depending on layover and routing.",
        "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 Los Angeles to Yerevan?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop flights from Los Angeles to Yerevan. The shortest connecting routings take about 21–22 hours, most often with one stop in Frankfurt, Vienna, Doha, or Istanbul on airlines like Lufthansa, Austrian, Qatar Airways, or Turkish Airlines. LOT Polish Airlines often offers the lowest fares, with one-stop itineraries starting around $914.",
        "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. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Yerevan?",
        "answer": "From Zvartnots International Airport (EVN), located about 15 km west of Yerevan, taxis and ride-hailing apps like Yandex Go and GG are the most popular and convenient ways to reach the city center, offering a fast 20-30 minute trip. An official airport taxi service is available at fixed rates, while app-based rides are often cheaper. Public bus route 201 also connects the airport to central Yerevan, providing a budget-friendly option, though it can be slower and less comfortable with luggage. Car rentals are available at the airport from international and local agencies, but driving in Yerevan can be challenging for visitors. The fastest and most-used option is a taxi or ride-hailing service.",

        "question": "How do I get to Los Angeles Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Los Angeles, you can reach LAX by public transit (Metro Rail Green Line C and a free shuttle, cheapest but slower), the FlyAway bus from Union Station (direct, moderate fare), ride‑share/taxi (convenient door‑to‑door, higher cost), or driving yourself with parking on‑site (most flexible but priciest when you add parking fees). The FlyAway bus is a popular middle ground for solo travelers, while ride‑share is often fastest depending on traffic.",
