        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Mexico City to Hermosillo?",
        "answer": "The flight from Mexico City to Hermosillo covers about 1,010 miles. Nonstop flights typically take 3 hours and 5 minutes, while the return leg is shorter at about 2 hours and 43 minutes 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 Mexico City to Hermosillo?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are non‑stop flights from Mexico City (MEX) to Hermosillo (HMO) every day of the week. Aeroméxico, Volaris, and Viva Aerobus all operate daily service, with Aeroméxico flying up to 185 weekly departures at roughly two‑and‑a‑half to three hours, while Volaris and Viva Aerobus each offer one or two daily flights at about two hours and forty‑five 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": "Yes, Aeromexico operates nonstop overnight red-eye flights from Mexico City to Hermosillo with 21 weekly departures on Monday through Friday and Sunday, typically leaving between 9:25 PM and 9:40 PM. These flights are short enough that they land the same night, not the next morning.",
        "methodology": "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.",

Aeromexico operates the most frequent service with about 185 weekly flights, while Volaris offers 14 and VivaAerobus 7 per week. Typical median fares are not available in the current schedule data, but these three carriers provide a range of nonstop options throughout the day.",

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Benito Juárez Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Mexico City, the Metrobús Line 4 is a direct and popular public-transport option, running from the city center to both terminals via dedicated lanes. Official airport taxis and ride-share services like Uber provide door-to-door convenience at a higher cost, while driving yourself is possible with on-site parking but can be expensive and subject to heavy traffic. The Metrobús is generally the most cost-effective choice, while taxis and ride-shares offer the fastest trip outside of peak congestion.",
