        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Orlando to Nassau?",
        "answer": "The flight from Orlando to Nassau covers about 330 miles. Nonstop flights typically take 1 hour 27 minutes eastbound, with the return leg taking about 1 hour 30 minutes. JetBlue, Southwest, and Bahamasair all offer daily nonstop service on this route.",
        "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 Orlando to Nassau?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are three airlines flying non‑stop from Orlando to Nassau: JetBlue, Southwest, and Bahamasair, each operating daily. Together they offer about 99 weekly flights, with departures spread from early morning through evening and a typical flight time of roughly 85–90 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": "At Lynden Pindling International Airport, taxis are readily available outside all terminals with set zone fares and are the most-used option for getting to the city center. Car rentals are also offered on-site, and private airport transfers or chauffeured car services provide a more upscale alternative. There is no mass transit or ride-share service at the airport. Taxis are generally the fastest door-to-door choice, while a rental car gives you flexibility for exploring beyond Nassau.",

        "question": "How do I get to Orlando Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Orlando, the fastest and most convenient option is a ride‑share (Uber or Lyft) or taxi, taking about 20 minutes and costing a moderate fare. Public transportation is available via Lynx bus routes 11, 42, and 51, which connect to the airport in roughly 45–60 minutes for a low fare. Shared‑ride shuttles like those from Mears Transportation or SuperShuttle offer door‑to‑door service at a mid‑range cost. Driving is straightforward via FL‑528 or FL‑417, with on‑site parking garages and economy lots available at daily rates.",
