        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Boston to Edinburgh?",
        "answer": "The flight from Boston to Edinburgh is about 3,060 miles and typically takes 6 hours 10 minutes nonstop. The return flight is longer at 7 hours 18 minutes due to prevailing winds. Connecting itineraries generally take 10 to 14 hours total.",
        "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.",

However, an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) must be obtained before travel.\n\nThis is general guidance to help you plan, not official immigration advice — entry rules can change and can depend on your nationality and circumstances, so please confirm the current requirements with the relevant embassy or official government source before you travel.",

The Blue Line subway connects downtown to Airport Station followed by a free shuttle, while Logan Express buses serve Back Bay and other points.
