        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Fort Lauderdale to Manila?",
        "answer": "There are no scheduled nonstop flights from Fort Lauderdale to Manila; the distance is about 9,290 miles. A trip requires a connection, and total journey time is typically around 20 to 24 hours depending on layovers.",
        "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": "No red-eye flights are available from Fort Lauderdale to Manila — neither nonstop overnight service nor connecting itineraries whose long leg is a red-eye operate on this route.",
        "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.",

        "question": "If I need a connection, what are common layover cities between Fort Lauderdale and Manila?",
        "answer": "Common layover cities include Doha, Dubai, Istanbul and Tokyo. Doha and Dubai offer broad connections and efficient transfers. Istanbul provides visa‑free transit for many nationalities. Tokyo can be a competitive option with excellent service and a well‑connected hub."

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Manila?",
        "answer": "Ninoy Aquino International Airport is Manila’s only airport. It is about 12 kilometres south of downtown and handles all commercial flights, including international and domestic services."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Hollywood Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Fort Lauderdale, the most popular option to reach FLL is a ride‑share or taxi, which takes under 10 minutes. The cheapest public transit is Broward County Transit bus Route 1, which stops at the Rental Car Center, or the Tri‑Rail commuter train with a free shuttle from the airport station. Driving yourself is quick and short‑term parking is available at the terminals.",
