        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Madrid to Orlando?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop flights from Madrid (MAD) to Orlando (MCO).

The return flight from Orlando to Madrid is typically shorter at around 11 to 13 hours due to favorable tailwinds."

      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Orlando?",
        "answer": "Orlando International Airport (MCO) is about fifteen miles from downtown Orlando. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are extremely popular and cost-effective, taking around twenty to thirty minutes depending on traffic. Taxis are widely available but more expensive. The Brightline high-speed train now connects MCO to downtown Orlando and continues south to Miami, making it a fast and convenient option. SunRail commuter rail serves the broader metro area but has limited stops near the airport. Public buses via LYNX are available but slow and impractical for most travelers. Car rentals are very popular given Orlando's sprawling layout and the prevalence of theme parks, making a car essential for many visitors. Most leisure travelers rent a car due to the distances between attractions, while business travelers and theme park visitors increasingly favor ride-share services."

        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Madrid to Orlando?",
        "answer": "On-time performance on Madrid to Orlando flights is reasonable but variable, as long-haul transatlantic routes are susceptible to weather delays and air traffic congestion. Iberia and Level operate this route and morning departures from Madrid tend to depart more punctually than evening flights. Booking the earliest available flight reduces the risk of cascading delays, particularly at busy Orlando International Airport."

Have proof of onward or return travel, a payment method for checked baggage fees, and ensure your name matches your ticket exactly. No COVID vaccination certificate is currently required for entry to the US."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Orlando?",
        "answer": "Orlando International (MCO) is the main airport for most flights including international arrivals and is closest to the theme parks.
