        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Miami to Detroit?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Miami (MIA) to Detroit (DTW) typically takes about 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours. The return flight from Detroit to Miami is similar, around 2 hours 50 minutes to 3 hours 10 minutes. Connecting flights through Atlanta or Charlotte generally add 1 to 2 hours to total travel time."

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Miami to Detroit?",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Detroit?",
        "answer": "Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) is about twenty-five miles from downtown Detroit. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are the most commonly used options, offering convenient door-to-door service in roughly thirty to forty-five minutes depending on traffic. Taxis are available but less popular and more expensive. Public transit options are limited compared to most major cities. The SMART bus system connects the airport to downtown but involves transfers and takes considerably longer. Car rentals are widely available and practical given Detroit's car-centric layout, making them a strong choice for visitors planning to explore beyond downtown. The People Mover monorail operates within downtown Detroit but does not extend to the airport. Most travelers opt for ride-share services or rental cars due to the limited public transit infrastructure."

      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Miami to Detroit?",
        "answer": "For Miami to Detroit, the optimal booking window is roughly 5–8 weeks (about 35–55 days) before departure, where average fares sit around $191–$201; the single cheapest point in the data is 55 days out at $191. For summer travel or holiday periods, it's wise to push that window earlier — booking too far out (beyond ~3 months) actually tends to drive prices up significantly, so aim for that 5–8 week sweet spot unless you're traveling during peak demand, in which case securing tickets 10–12 weeks ahead is a safer bet.",
