        "question": "How do I get to Odessa Regional from the city center?",
        "answer": "Midland International Air & Space Port (MAF) is located roughly 10 miles west of downtown Midland, so driving or taking a taxi/ride-share (Uber/Lyft) are the most common ways to reach it, with the trip taking about 15–20 minutes. There is no fixed-route public transit serving the airport, but a few local taxi companies and app-based rides are readily available and cost less than airport parking for short stays. If you drive, short- and long-term parking lots sit directly across from the terminal, making self-parking the fastest option overall.",
