        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Indianapolis to Mexico City?",
        "answer": "There is no nonstop service between Indianapolis and Mexico City, so a connection is required. The approximate great-circle distance is about 1,590 miles, and a typical one-stop itinerary takes around 6 to 9 hours total travel time, depending on the layover.",
        "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": "Mexico City's Benito Juárez International Airport is connected to the city center by several ground transportation options, including taxis, ride-share services, car rentals, and public transit. The Metrobús Line 4's Quetzalcóatl route offers direct service from the airport to downtown for 30 pesos and is currently recommended by airport authorities as the most agile option due to ongoing terminal renovations. The Mexico City Metro is the most-used public transport system in the city, carrying about 4.4 million passengers daily, though it does not directly serve the airport terminals. Taxis and ride-shares are widely available and generally offer the fastest door-to-door convenience. Overall, the Metrobús is the fastest public transit link from the airport, while the Metro remains the most-used mode across the city.",

        "answer": "From downtown Indianapolis, you can reach the airport by public bus (IndyGo Route 8 runs to the terminal), shared shuttle vans, ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, taxis, or driving yourself with on-site parking. Ride-share and taxi are typically the fastest and most popular, though public transit is the least expensive. Driving offers convenience with several parking options, but costs more overall.",

The shorter feeder leg from Indianapolis is typically an Embraer 175 or Boeing 737-800 on American, or an Embraer 175, Airbus A319 Ceo, or Airbus A320-100 on United.",

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.
