        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Brisbane to Canberra?",
        "answer": "The flight from Brisbane to Canberra covers about 594 miles. A typical nonstop takes 1 hour 50 minutes, while the return leg is slightly shorter at 1 hour 40 minutes.",
        "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.",

      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Brisbane to Canberra?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct non‑stop flights from Brisbane to Canberra. Qantas, Virgin Australia, and Jetstar all fly the route daily, with Qantas operating up to 10 departures a day, Virgin Australia around 9, and Jetstar one daily departure. The flight takes roughly 1 hour 50 minutes, and typical aircraft include the Embraer 190, Boeing 737‑700/800, and Airbus A220‑200.",
        "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. 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. Aircraft types are taken from the equipment each operating carrier schedules on this route, drawn from published airline timetables and airline equipment schedules in our flight-schedule database. They describe typical scheduled aircraft and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute equipment swaps.",

        "answer": "From Canberra Airport, the fastest and most-used way into the city center is the Rapid 3 bus, which runs every 15 minutes on weekdays and takes under 20 minutes. Taxis and rideshare services like Uber are readily available outside the terminal and offer a door-to-door trip in about 15 minutes. Car rentals from major agencies are on-site for those who prefer to drive, though parking in the city is generally easy. There is no light rail or train connection at the airport. The bus is the primary public transit option and the most popular choice for solo travelers.",

        "question": "How do I get to Brisbane Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "The fastest and most popular way to reach Brisbane Airport (BNE) from the city center is the Airtrain, a dedicated rail service connecting the CBD to both the domestic and international terminals in about 20 minutes; it's the most expensive option with no government subsidy, though frequent and reliable. Ride-share and taxis offer door-to-door convenience with a similar travel time, but are also costly and subject to traffic. Several shuttle bus companies provide a middle-ground in price and speed, while driving yourself and parking at the airport gives flexibility but can be pricey for longer trips.",
