        "question": "Which airports in Missouri can I fly into from Canada?",
        "answer": "St. Louis Lambert International is the primary gateway with the most connections from Canada. Kansas City also offers flights, often with one stop. Non-stop service is limited; Toronto and Montreal may have seasonal direct flights to St. Louis. Kansas City can be a cheaper alternative for regional travel."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from Canada to Missouri?",
        "answer": "Nonstop flights from Canada to Missouri run from Toronto and Montreal into St. Louis. From Toronto, the typical flight time is 2h 7m, and from Montreal it is 2h 47m. Both are operated by Air Canada.",
        "methodology": "Flight times 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 time is the median scheduled duration of each departure city's nonstop services to the destination.",

Both routes are operated by Air Canada.",
        "methodology": "Nonstop service is identified from the scheduled operating flights in 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); a destination with no scheduled nonstop from the origin country is reported as having none.",

      "q3": {
        "question": "Which airports in Canada are best for flying to Missouri?",

        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Canada to Missouri?",

      },
      "q6": {
        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from Canada to Missouri?",
