        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Orlando to New York?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Orlando (MCO) to New York (JFK) typically takes about 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours. The return flight from JFK to MCO runs slightly shorter at around 2 hours 30 to 2 hours 45 minutes due to favorable tailwinds. Connecting flights through Charlotte, Atlanta, or Philadelphia typically add 2 or more hours to total travel time."

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Orlando to New York?",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in New York?",
        "answer": "JFK Airport offers several ways to reach Manhattan. The AirTrain connects JFK to the subway network at Jamaica Station and Howard Beach, where you can take the E, J, Z, or A trains into Manhattan in about sixty to seventy-five minutes total. This is the most affordable option. The Long Island Rail Road from Jamaica Station is faster, reaching Penn Station in roughly thirty minutes after the AirTrain ride. Taxis charge a flat fare of around seventy dollars to Manhattan, making them predictable but costly. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are widely used and often comparable in price to taxis, though surge pricing applies. Car rentals are available but driving into Manhattan is generally impractical due to traffic and parking costs. Express bus services like the NYC Airporter connect to Midtown terminals. The AirTrain combined with the subway is the most commonly used option for budget-conscious travelers, while ride-share services are popular among those prioritizing convenience."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Orlando to New York?",
        "answer": "For the Orlando (MCO) to New York (JFK) route, the optimal booking window is about 3–6 weeks before departure, where average fares sit around $167–$169 — booking too early (say, 6 months out) can cost $215–$250, and last-minute fares spike to $369 or more. For summer travel or holiday periods, it's wise to book toward the earlier end of that window or even a bit beyond, as demand is higher and cheap seats sell out faster.",

JetBlue and Delta operate this route frequently, with early-morning flights typically performing better than afternoon or evening departures.

        "answer": "JFK is the largest New York airport and handles most domestic and international flights, though it is about 15 miles from Midtown. LaGuardia is closer to Manhattan and better for domestic travel, while Newark offers another option across the Hudson with strong United hub connections. Your ticket already routes you to JFK, but consider the others if you have flexibility."

        "question": "How do I get to Orlando Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Orlando, the SunRail commuter train connects to the airport via a free automated people mover, making it the cheapest option though it requires a transfer. Rideshares and taxis take 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic and are moderately priced. Shuttle services offer shared rides at mid-range cost. Driving takes a similar time and parking at MCO is available in multiple garages but adds significant cost for longer trips."
      },
      "q14": {

        "answer": "JFK has no on-site hotels inside its terminals. The closest options are nearby hotels in Jamaica and the surrounding area, most of which offer free shuttle service to the airport.
