        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Freeport to Miami?",
        "answer": "The flight from Freeport to Miami is about 110 miles and typically takes 50 minutes nonstop on American Airlines. The return flight to Freeport averages 58 minutes, a slight difference due to 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.",

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Freeport to Miami?",
        "answer": "Yes, American Airlines flies nonstop from Freeport (FPO) to Miami (MIA), with about 122 weekly flights operating daily. Flights depart throughout the day from roughly 10:20 AM to 6:30 PM, and the hop takes about 50 minutes.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "From Miami International Airport (MIA), the fastest way to the city center is typically a taxi, ride-share, or rental car, with the free MIA Mover connecting you to the Rental Car Center and the Miami Intermodal Center. Mass transit is also available and well-used: Metrorail and Tri-Rail both serve the airport via the MIA Mover link, with Metrorail being the most popular public option for getting downtown. The Miami Beach Bus (Route 150) offers a direct connection to South Beach for just $2.25. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are widely used and readily available. Overall, ride-share and taxis are the most common choices for visitors due to convenience, while Metrorail is the preferred mass transit option for budget-conscious travelers.",

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Miami?",
        "answer": "Miami International Airport is the primary airport for the region, located about 8 miles west of downtown Miami and close to attractions like South Beach. It serves as a major hub for American Airlines and a focus city for several carriers, handling both domestic and international flights. For most travellers from Freeport, MIA is the only practical choice. The secondary airport, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood, is about 25 miles north and mainly serves low-cost and domestic routes, making it less convenient for this journey."

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Grand Bahama Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Freeport, taxis are the most common way to reach Grand Bahama International Airport, offering a direct and relatively quick 10–15 minute ride. Ride-share services are not available, and there is no dedicated public bus or shuttle to the airport, though some hotels may arrange private transfers. Driving yourself is an option with parking available at the terminal, but taxis remain the fastest and most popular choice for visitors.",
