        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Lisbon to London?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Lisbon (LIS) to London takes about 2 hours 20 minutes southbound and roughly 2 hours 30 to 40 minutes on the return from London to Lisbon due to prevailing winds. TAP Air Portugal and British Airways offer frequent direct service. Connecting flights via Porto or Madrid typically add 3 to 5 hours to total travel time."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Lisbon to London?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are plenty of nonstop flights from Lisbon (LIS) to London — in fact, it's a very well-served route with daily service on TAP Air Portugal (to both Heathrow and Gatwick), British Airways (to Heathrow), and easyJet (to Gatwick and Luton), plus Ryanair flying to Stansted most days of the week (Mon–Thu and Sat). Combined, there are well over 200 nonstop flights per week across all London airports, so you'll have no shortage of options regardless of which terminal you prefer.",

        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Lisbon to London?",
        "answer": "Since Brexit, travel between Portugal and the UK is no longer governed by EU free movement rules. If you are a Portuguese or other EU national, you do not need a visa for short stays in the UK of up to 6 months, but as of January 8, 2025, you must obtain a UK Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before travel. If you are a UK national traveling to Portugal, you can stay visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period under Schengen rules."

      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in London?",
        "answer": "London offers extensive ground transportation from its airports to the city center. From Heathrow, the Heathrow Express train reaches Paddington Station in about fifteen minutes and is the fastest option. The Elizabeth Line and Piccadilly Line are slower but less expensive, taking around forty to fifty minutes. From Gatwick, the Gatwick Express reaches Victoria Station in about thirty minutes. Stansted is linked to Liverpool Street Station by the Stansted Express in roughly forty-five minutes. London City Airport is closest to the center, accessible by the Docklands Light Railway in about twenty minutes. Taxis and ride-share services are widely available but can be slow and costly in traffic. Coaches are cheaper but take longer, while car rentals are practical for travel beyond London but less suited to city use. Most travelers use rail services because they balance speed, reliability, and cost well."

        "question": "How do I get to Humberto Delgado Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From central Lisbon, the Metro Red Line connects directly to the airport in about 20 minutes and is the cheapest and most popular option. Taxis and rideshares like Uber take a similar time but cost more, especially in traffic. Aerobus shuttle services offer a middle-ground fare. Driving and parking at the airport is convenient but among the priciest options."
      },
      "q14": {
