        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Amman to Cairo?",
        "answer": "The flight from Amman to Cairo is about 290 miles and typically takes 1 hour 30 minutes outbound, with the return leg taking 1 hour 20 minutes — the return is slightly shorter. Nonstop service is available daily on Royal Jordanian and EgyptAir, with Air Cairo also flying on Wednesdays and Fridays.",
        "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.",

Royal Jordanian operates about 62 weekly flights with departures spread throughout the day, EgyptAir runs around 46 weekly flights, and both fly daily. Air Cairo adds two weekly flights on Wednesdays and Fridays.",

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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Cairo?",
        "answer": "From Cairo Airport, the most used and often fastest option is a taxi or ride-hailing service like Uber, which is widely available and avoids the need to negotiate fares. An airport bus service connects to the city, but it can be slow due to Cairo's heavy traffic. The Cairo Metro does not yet reach the airport directly, so it's not a practical option from the terminal. Car rentals are available but not recommended for visitors unfamiliar with Cairo's chaotic driving conditions. Overall, ride-hailing apps are the most reliable and convenient choice for getting to the city center.",

These connect via Sharjah (G9, departing 22:45 and arriving 01:30), Riyadh (XY, 21:40→00:35), Jeddah (XY, 22:15→00:25), Hurghada (SM, 23:00→00:30), and Addis Ababa (ET, 22:15→02:05); all arrivals are in the early hours just after midnight except the Addis Ababa service which arrives at 02:05.",

        "question": "How do I get to Queen Alia Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Amman, the most popular way to reach Queen Alia International Airport is by taxi or ride‑share, which take about 30–40 minutes and are the fastest door‑to‑door option. Public Sariyah Airport Express buses run from the Tabarbour bus station (north of the city center) directly to the airport every 30–60 minutes, offering a comfortable, air‑conditioned ride at a lower cost. For those driving, the airport is about 35 km south of the city via the Desert Highway, with both short‑term and long‑term parking available at the terminals.",
