        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Detroit to New York?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Detroit (DTW) to New York (JFK, LGA, or EWR) typically takes about 1 hour 40 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes. The return flight is roughly the same duration. Connecting flights are uncommon on this busy route but would add at least 2 to 3 hours to total travel time."

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in New York?",
        "answer": "New York is served by three major airports. From JFK, the AirTrain connects to the subway E and J lines and the Long Island Rail Road, reaching Midtown Manhattan in about an hour total. From LaGuardia, there is no direct rail link, so taxis, ride-shares, and the Q70 bus connecting to the subway are the main options. From Newark, the AirTrain connects to NJ Transit trains reaching Penn Station in roughly thirty minutes. Taxis are metered from JFK and readily available at all airports but can be slow in traffic. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are extremely popular and often cheaper than taxis. Car rentals are available but driving and parking in New York City is expensive and congested. The AirTrain and subway combination from JFK is the most commonly used option for budget-conscious travelers, while ride-shares are the most popular overall for their convenience."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Detroit to New York?",
        "answer": "For Detroit to New York, the optimal booking window is generally 3 to 6 weeks before departure, where average fares sit around $180 — waiting until the last minute can push prices up to $392, so booking at least a month out is wise. For summer travel or holiday periods, it's best to book even earlier (2 to 3 months or more in advance) to lock in lower fares before inventory tightens and prices rise.",

        "question": "How do I get to Detroit Metro Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) sits about 20 miles southwest of downtown.

Shared shuttle services cost less but take longer. Taxis are reliable but pricier. Driving and parking long-term is affordable but adds time."
