        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Boston to Halifax?",
        "answer": "The flight from Boston to Halifax is about 413 miles. Nonstop service typically takes 1 hour 35 minutes outbound, with the return leg taking 1 hour 40 minutes. American, Delta, and Air Canada all operate this route, with Air Canada offering daily service.",
        "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 Boston to Halifax?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are nonstop flights from Boston to Halifax. Air Canada flies daily with three evening departures, while Delta offers morning service on Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and American flies on Saturdays only with two morning departures. The flight takes about 90–100 minutes.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) is about 40 km (25 mi) from downtown Halifax. The most-used option is the MetroX Route 320 express bus, which runs regularly and takes roughly 55 minutes to the city center. Taxis and ride-share services like Uber are available at the terminal, offering a faster door-to-door trip in about 30–40 minutes. Car rentals from major agencies are on-site for those who prefer to drive themselves. There is no direct rail link, but the bus and private vehicle options cover all typical needs.",

Air Canada offers red‑eye connections via Toronto (YYZ) departing around 9:40–10:45 PM and arriving in Halifax between 12:49 AM and 1:54 AM, and via Montréal (YUL) departing at 10:00 PM and arriving at 12:36 AM.",

        "question": "How do I get to Logan Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Boston, the MBTA Blue Line and Silver Line bus provide direct public transit to Logan Airport, with the Silver Line being a popular, economical choice from South Station. Logan Express shuttle buses run from Back Bay and several suburban locations, offering a comfortable ride at a moderate fare. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, as well as taxis, are widely available and generally the fastest door-to-door option, though more costly. Driving and parking at Logan is possible, with advance reservations available to save on daily rates, but traffic can make this less predictable.",
