        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Detroit to Dhaka?",
        "answer": "The flight from Detroit to Dhaka is about 7,860 miles. No nonstop service is scheduled on this route, so a connection is required; typical total journey times for a one-stop itinerary range from roughly 21 to 26 hours.",
        "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.",

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Detroit to Dhaka?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop flights from Detroit (DTW) to Dhaka (DAC). The shortest connecting option is a one-stop routing via Istanbul (IST) on Turkish Airlines, with a Boeing 787-9 on the long leg and an Airbus A330-300 on the short leg, taking roughly 10 hours to Istanbul plus another 7.5 hours to Dhaka, with about a 5-hour layover — total travel time around 22–23 hours.",
        "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. Aircraft types are taken from the equipment each operating carrier schedules on this route, drawn from published airline timetables and airline equipment schedules in our flight-schedule database. They describe typical scheduled aircraft and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute equipment swaps.",

It is obtained as a visa on arrival at the border in Bangladesh, and it permits a stay of up to 30 days.\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.",

        "answer": "From Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka, the main options to reach the city center are prepaid taxis from a kiosk at the international arrivals exit, ride-hailing apps like Uber, Pathao, and Obhai, and a railway station directly opposite the airport that connects to Dhaka and other Bangladeshi cities. Ride-hailing and taxis are the most used for door-to-door travel, while the train is a cheaper but less frequent option. There is no dedicated metro line to the airport yet, and car rentals are uncommon for visitors. Traffic in Dhaka is extremely congested, so travel time can vary widely, but a taxi or ride-share is generally the fastest and most reliable choice.",

SMART buses (including the limited-stop FAST Route 261) also serve both terminals from downtown and surrounding suburbs at a lower cost but with more stops. Ride-share services and taxis are available for door-to-door convenience at a higher price, and driving yourself is possible with short- and long-term parking at the airport, though parking fees add to the cost.",

        "methodology": "Aircraft types 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). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.",
