        "answer": "From Cibao International Airport (STI), the most common way to reach Santiago's city center is by taxi, which takes about 15–20 minutes for the 15-kilometer trip. Ride-sharing services like Uber are available but less prevalent, and local car rental agencies operate at the airport. There is no direct mass transit or train link; public buses serve nearby roads but are not geared toward airport travelers. Taxis remain the fastest and most-used option for visitors.",

Other connecting options include Philadelphia on American, and Fort Lauderdale or Boston on JetBlue, though those appear less frequently.",
        "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.",

        "question": "How do I get to Hartsfield Jackson Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "The most popular way to reach Hartsfield-Jackson from downtown Atlanta is the MARTA Red or Gold Line train, which takes about 20 minutes and costs just a few dollars. Taxis and ride-shares like Uber or Lyft offer door-to-door convenience in roughly the same time for a significantly higher fare.
