        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Mexico City to Reynosa?",
        "answer": "The flight from Mexico City to Reynosa is about 460 miles, with a typical nonstop flight time of 1 hour 45 minutes. The return leg is slightly longer at 1 hour 50 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.",

        "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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Reynosa?",
        "answer": "At Reynosa International Airport (General Lucio Blanco), the terminal offers taxi stands and car rental services directly on-site. Taxis are the most commonly used option for the roughly 10 km trip to the city center, providing a straightforward door-to-door service. Ride‑sharing apps have limited availability in Reynosa, so taxis remain the primary choice for travelers. No mass transit (bus or rail) serves the airport, making private transport the only practical way to reach 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.",

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Benito Juárez Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "The most popular and fastest way to reach Benito Juárez International Airport from downtown Mexico City is the Metrobús Line 4, which runs frequently from early morning to midnight and drops you right at the terminals. Official airport taxis and ride‑share services like Uber offer door‑to‑door convenience at a higher cost and are subject to traffic. There is no direct Metro station at the airport, but you can take the Metro to a nearby station and then connect to the Metrobús or a taxi, though this is less convenient with luggage. Driving yourself is possible, with parking available at both terminals, but traffic can be unpredictable and parking fees add to the expense.",
