        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Chicago to Bogotá?",
        "answer": "The flight from Chicago to Bogotá is about 2,710 miles and typically takes 6 hours 10 minutes nonstop on Avianca. The return flight is about 20 minutes longer at 6 hours 30 minutes due to prevailing winds. Connecting itineraries, generally via Miami, Panama City, or Mexico City, usually take between 9 and 14 hours total.",
        "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": "What are the ground transportation options in Bogotá?",
        "answer": "From El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá, taxis are widely available and offer a direct, fast ride to the city center, taking about 20-40 minutes depending on traffic, and are the most-used option for visitors. The TransMilenio bus rapid transit system has a dedicated feeder route from the airport to Portal Eldorado station, where you can connect to trunk lines into the city, providing a very affordable mass transit alternative. Ride-sharing services like Uber and Cabify also operate, though they may face some legal restrictions and are often used via app-based taxi hailing. Car rentals are available at the airport, but driving in Bogotá can be challenging due to congestion and peak-hour restrictions. The fastest option is typically a taxi or ride-share outside of rush hour, while the TransMilenio is the cheapest and a practical choice during heavy traffic.",

        "answer": "The CTA Blue Line 'L' train provides the most popular and economical public transit link directly from downtown Chicago to O'Hare International Airport, with trains running frequently from stations in the Loop. Taxis and ride-share services like Uber and Lyft offer door-to-door convenience at a higher cost, while shared shuttle vans and regional buses provide a middle ground. Driving is also an option, with the Kennedy Expressway (I-90) connecting downtown to O'Hare, and parking choices range from hourly and daily garages to more affordable economy lots with reserved spaces available.",
