        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Houston to Querétaro?",
        "answer": "The flight from Houston to Querétaro is about 714 miles. The typical nonstop flight time is 2 hours 7 minutes, with the return leg taking about 2 minutes less, which is negligible.",
        "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 Houston to Querétaro?",
        "answer": "Yes, United and Viva Aerobus both fly nonstop from Houston (IAH) to Querétaro (QRO). United runs up to 77 weekly flights with departures spread throughout the day, daily. Viva Aerobus operates just twice a week, on Thursdays and Sundays, with a single evening departure around 8:30 PM.",
        "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.",

Entry is visa-free, and the permitted length of stay is up to 180 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.",

Ride-sharing options are limited at this airport, and there is no dedicated mass transit link, so most travelers rely on taxis or rental cars.",

        "answer": "Yes, United operates a daily nonstop red-eye from Houston (IAH) to Querétaro (QRO), departing at 9:45 PM. The flight lands the same night — the scheduled arrival is just before midnight, so it arrives in the late evening rather than the next morning.",
        "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.",

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to George Bush Intercontinental Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Houston, the fastest and most popular way to reach George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is by ride-share (Uber or Lyft) or taxi, with pickups at designated curbside areas at Terminals A, C, and E, and these typically take about 25–35 minutes depending on traffic. The most affordable public option is the METRO 500 IAH Downtown Direct bus, which runs nonstop between downtown (George R. Brown Convention Center area) and Terminal E for just $4.50 one way, with service seven days a week from 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., departing every 30 minutes and offering luggage accommodation and free Wi-Fi. Alternatively, the 102 Bush IAH Express also serves the airport from Terminal C, and for drivers there are on-airport parking options plus off-airport parking shuttles and hotel shuttles. Rental cars are available at a consolidated Rental Car Center about five minutes by shuttle from the terminals.",
