        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Cali to Bogotá?",
        "answer": "The flight from Cali to Bogotá covers about 174 miles. Nonstop flights typically take 1 hour 4 minutes, with the return leg slightly longer at 1 hour 8 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.",

        "answer": "Yes, there are direct flights from Cali (CLO) to Bogotá (BOG). Five airlines — Avianca, LATAM, JetSMART, Wingo, and Clic — operate nonstop service daily, with a combined total of over 500 weekly flights. Departures run throughout the day from early morning to late evening.",

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 Bogotá?",
        "answer": "From El Dorado International Airport (BOG) to central Bogotá, the most efficient option is the TransMilenio bus rapid transit system, with the Portal Eldorado station right at the airport and frequent service along Avenida El Dorado. Official taxis are readily available and offer a direct, comfortable ride, though they cost more and can be slowed by traffic. Ride-sharing apps like Uber and Cabify operate widely and are popular, providing upfront pricing and convenience. Car rentals are available but not recommended for city-center trips due to heavy congestion and parking challenges. For most travelers, the TransMilenio is the fastest and most-used option, blending speed with affordability.",
