        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Casablanca to Washington?",
        "answer": "The nonstop flight from Casablanca to Washington is about 3,820 miles and typically takes 8 hours outbound. The return leg is shorter at 7 hours 15 minutes, a 45-minute difference driven by 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 Casablanca to Washington?",
        "answer": "Royal Air Maroc (AT) operates the only nonstop service from Casablanca (CMN) to Washington Dulles (IAD), with two daily departures at roughly 4:00 PM and 4:25 PM, seven days a week — about 12 weekly flights total. The flight is scheduled at around 8 hours westbound.",
        "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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Washington?",
        "answer": "From Washington Dulles, the fastest option to downtown is the Silver Line Express bus to the Wiehle-Reston East Metro station, then Metrorail into the city, taking about 60–75 minutes total. Taxis and ride-shares like Uber and Lyft offer direct door-to-door service in 40–60 minutes without traffic, though they cost more. Shared van services are also available for budget-conscious travelers. The Metrorail is the most-used public transit link, but taxis and ride-shares are popular for convenience. Car rentals are on-site for those planning to explore beyond the city.",

        "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.",

      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Washington?",
        "answer": "Dulles is the primary international gateway and the airport you are flying into. Reagan National is closer to downtown and the National Mall but serves mostly domestic routes. Baltimore/Washington is farther out and handles low‑cost carriers."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Mohammed V Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From central Casablanca, the most popular way to reach Mohammed V International Airport is by train, with ONCF running direct services from Casa-Voyageurs station to the airport terminal roughly every hour; the journey takes about 45 minutes and is one of the most affordable options. Taxis and ride‑share services are widely available for door‑to‑door convenience and are faster outside peak traffic, though they cost significantly more. Driving yourself is possible via the A7 motorway, with both short‑term and long‑term parking at the airport. There is no dedicated shuttle‑bus service, but the train remains the best balance of speed, reliability, and cost for most travelers.",
