        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Dallas to Kigali?",
        "answer": "Dallas to Kigali is about 8,410 miles and has no nonstop service, so the journey requires at least one connection. With a layover, the total travel time is typically around 20 to 24 hours depending on the routing and connection duration.",
        "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 Dallas to Kigali?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop flights from Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) to Kigali (KGL). The most common one-stop routing connects via Doha on Qatar Airways, with a total travel time around 20–22 hours depending on layover. Other airlines may offer connections through hubs like Istanbul, but Qatar Airways via Doha is the most frequent option.",
        "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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Kigali?",
        "answer": "The airport is located in the Kanombe suburb, roughly 5 km east of the city center. Taxis are the most used and reliable option; a trip into town typically takes 15–20 minutes and costs a fixed fare. Ride-share services like Move and Yego are available via app and offer a similar experience. There is no dedicated mass transit from the airport, but public buses serve the main road a short walk away—cheap but less comfortable with luggage. Car rentals are available at the terminal, though self-driving is uncommon for visitors.",

        "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.",

Doha and Istanbul offer broad one‑stop connections on Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines respectively, with efficient transfers. Amsterdam and Brussels provide smooth connections via KLM and Brussels Airlines, and both airports allow visa‑free transit for many nationalities, keeping total travel time competitive."

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Dallas Fort Worth Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Dallas, the DART Orange Line light rail goes directly to Terminal A, taking about 50 minutes and being the most popular and affordable option. Ride-share and taxis are available door-to-door in roughly 25–35 minutes, while driving and parking on-site is possible but pricier. Shuttle buses and the TRE commuter rail with a connecting shuttle serve the airport from other parts of the region, but the Orange Line is generally fastest from the city center.",
