        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Detroit?",
        "answer": "Detroit Metropolitan Airport is about twenty miles from downtown Detroit. The most common choice is renting a car, as Detroit is a car-centric city with limited public transit connections from the airport. The SMART bus system operates routes between the airport and the city but service is infrequent and slow, making it impractical for most travelers. Taxis and ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are widely available and convenient, taking roughly thirty to forty-five minutes depending on traffic. Car rentals are well represented at the airport and are the preferred option for visitors planning to explore the metro area. The Detroit People Mover operates within downtown but does not extend to the airport. Most travelers arriving at DTW rent a car or use a ride-share service to reach the city center."

        "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 (35–55 days) before departure, where average fares sit around $191–$201 — booking too far out (say, 5+ months ahead) can actually cost significantly more, with prices seen as high as $679 at 160 days out. For summer travel or holiday periods, it's wise to book toward the earlier end of that window or slightly beyond it, as demand spikes can push last-minute and near-term fares well above $300.",
