        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Fort Lauderdale to Bogotá?",
        "answer": "The flight from Fort Lauderdale to Bogotá is about 1,530 miles. The typical nonstop flight time is 3 hours 40 minutes, with the return leg taking 3 hours 50 minutes.",
        "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.",

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Fort Lauderdale to Bogotá?",
        "answer": "Yes, Avianca operates daily nonstop flights from Fort Lauderdale to Bogotá, with three departures spread across the afternoon (2:30 PM, 3:20 PM, and 3:30 PM). The nonstop flight takes about 3 hours 40 minutes, and typical fares on Avianca are around $423, though other carriers like United and JetBlue also offer connecting options.",
        "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. Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes — flagging services that depart late at night and arrive the following morning; for connecting itineraries the red-eye is based on the timing of the overnight long-haul leg. Aircraft types are taken from the equipment each operating carrier schedules on this route, drawn from published airline timetables and airline equipment schedules in our flight-schedule database. They describe typical scheduled aircraft and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute equipment swaps.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Bogotá?",
        "answer": "From El Dorado International Airport (BOG) to central Bogotá, the TransMilenio bus rapid transit system is the most-used option, with a dedicated feeder route from the Portal Eldorado station just outside the terminal. Taxis are readily available and faster, especially for door-to-door service, while ride-sharing apps like Uber operate in the city but may face some regulatory restrictions. Car rentals are also an option but are generally less practical for navigating Bogotá's congested streets. For most travelers, taxis or ride-shares offer the best balance of speed and convenience, while TransMilenio is the budget-friendly choice.",

Avianca runs an overnight leg from Fort Lauderdale to Barranquilla departing at 10:10 PM and arriving at 12:05 AM (same night), then connecting onward to Bogotá.
