        "question": "Which cities in Canada can I fly to from Calgary?",
        "answer": "From Calgary you can fly non-stop to most major Canadian cities. Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and Edmonton are the busiest routes. With a connection in Toronto or Montreal you can reach smaller eastern cities like Halifax or St. John's. Vancouver serves as the gateway to Victoria and other British Columbia destinations."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from Calgary to Canada?",
        "answer": "Calgary is already in Canada, so flights to other Canadian cities are domestic. Non-stop flights from Calgary to Toronto take about 3 hours 45 minutes eastbound and 4 hours 15 minutes westbound, while Vancouver is roughly 1 hour 30 minutes each way. One-stop connections to smaller cities like Halifax or St. John's typically range from 6 to 9 hours depending on the layover."
      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "Which airlines fly from Calgary to Canada?",

      },
      "q6": {
        "question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in Canada?",
        "answer": "Popular Canadian cities include Toronto for multicultural energy, Vancouver for mountain-and-sea scenery, Montreal for French flair, and Quebec City for old-world charm. Calgary itself is a gateway to Banff."
      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Canada are best to fly into from Calgary?",
        "answer": "From Calgary to other parts of Canada, Toronto Pearson is the busiest hub for long-haul and onward connections, while Vancouver International offers direct flights and is well-placed for Pacific coast travel. Montreal Trudeau is ideal for Quebec, and Halifax Stanfield or St. John's International serve Atlantic Canada effectively."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Canada?",
        "answer": "For Canada, late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September to October) offer milder weather and fewer tourists than the busy, expensive summer months, especially in gateway cities like Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Calgary Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Calgary, you can reach YYC airport by public transit (Calgary Transit bus routes, no LRT), ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, taxis and sedans, or hotel shuttles. Driving and parking are also options with short-term, long-term, and cellphone lots available.
