        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Mumbai to Toronto?",
        "answer": "Mumbai to Toronto is about 7,760 miles. Since no nonstop flights are scheduled on this route, the journey requires at least one connection, with a typical total travel time of roughly 18 to 22 hours depending on layover duration 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.",

        "answer": "From Toronto Pearson, the UP Express train is the fastest and most popular way to reach downtown, covering the 25 km trip to Union Station in 25 minutes with frequent service. Taxis and ride shares offer door-to-door convenience, while public transit buses connect to various parts of the city and suburbs. Car rentals are available on-site for those preferring to drive. The UP Express is the most used option for its speed and reliability.",

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Toronto?",
        "answer": "Toronto Pearson is the primary international airport, located about 22 km northwest of downtown.

        "question": "How do I get to Chhatrapati Shivaji Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "The most popular and fastest option is an app-based cab or a metered taxi, which can drop you directly at your terminal; auto-rickshaws are also available but can only go as far as the airport entrance. The Mumbai Metro now offers a direct connection to both terminals via the CSMIA Airport T1 and T2 stations on Line 3, providing a quick, air-conditioned ride from the city center. For a more economical choice, you can take a local train to Vile Parle (for Terminal 1) or Andheri (for Terminal 2) and then catch a bus or auto-rickshaw for the short final leg. If you drive yourself, multi-level car parks are available at both terminals for short- and long-term parking, though costs accumulate daily.",
