        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Detroit?",
        "answer": "Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) is about twenty-five miles from downtown Detroit. The most common option is renting a car, as Detroit is a car-centric city with limited public transit connections between the airport and downtown. Taxis and ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are widely available and take roughly thirty to forty minutes depending on traffic, making them the most used option for travelers without a rental. The SMART bus system offers limited service between the airport and the city but is slow and infrequent, making it impractical for most travelers. The Detroit People Mover operates downtown but does not extend to the airport. Car rentals are well represented at the airport and are the best choice for exploring the broader metro area. For a direct trip to downtown, ride-share services offer the best balance of convenience and cost."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Dallas to Detroit?",
        "answer": "For Dallas (DFW) to Detroit (DTW), the optimal booking window is about 4–6 weeks before departure, where average fares sit around $207–$212 — booking too early (3–6 months out) typically runs $255–$310, while last-minute tickets can spike to $456 or more. For summer travel or holiday periods, it's wise to push that window earlier, ideally 6–10 weeks in advance, as demand rises and those low mid-range fares get snapped up faster.",
