        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Bogotá to Cali?",
        "answer": "The flight from Bogotá to Cali is about 170 miles and typically takes 1 hour and 8 minutes. The return leg is slightly shorter at 1 hour and 4 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 Bogotá to Cali?",
        "answer": "Yes, five airlines — Avianca, LATAM, JetSMART Colombia, Wingo, and Clic Air — fly non‑stop from Bogotá to Cali, all operating daily. Together they offer over 500 weekly flights, with departures spread throughout the day from early morning until late evening, and the flight takes about 65–69 minutes. Most flights use Airbus A320 family aircraft.",
        "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. 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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Cali?",
        "answer": "From Alfonso Bonilla Aragón Airport (CLO), official prepaid taxis are the most reliable and commonly used way to reach Cali's city center, with counters in both terminals accepting cash and cards. Ride-hailing apps like Uber and Didi also operate in the area, though they may face restrictions on airport pickups. Public buses connect the airport to the city, but they are slower and less convenient with luggage. Car rentals are available at the airport if you prefer to drive yourself. No mass transit rail link exists, so taxis or ride shares are your fastest options.",

        "answer": "Yes, overnight red‑eye flights are available nonstop from Bogotá to Cali. Avianca operates up to 42 weekly red‑eyes, departing daily between 9:20 PM and 10:35 PM, while LATAM offers up to 28 weekly red‑eyes, departing daily between 9:05 PM and 11:40 PM. These are short domestic hops — all arrive the same night, typically under an hour after departure.",
        "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.",

Taxis and ride-share services like Uber provide door-to-door convenience at a higher cost, while driving is possible with parking available at the airport. Shared shuttle buses are not widely used, making public transit or private vehicles the main choices.",
