        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Orlando to Detroit?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Orlando to Detroit typically takes about 2 hours 30 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes. The return flight from Detroit to Orlando runs slightly shorter at around 2 hours 20 to 2 hours 30 minutes due to favorable wind patterns. Connecting flights with a layover, commonly through Atlanta or Charlotte, add 1 to 3 hours to total travel time."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Orlando to Detroit?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are plenty of nonstop flights from Orlando (MCO) to Detroit (DTW) — Spirit and Delta both operate daily service with many departures throughout the day, while Frontier flies six days a week (Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri/Sat/Sun) and Southwest runs five days a week (Mon/Thu/Fri/Sat/Sun). All four airlines combined offer well over 200 weekly nonstop flights on this route.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Detroit?",
        "answer": "Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is located about twenty miles from downtown Detroit. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are the most commonly used options, offering a convenient and reasonably priced trip to the city center in roughly thirty to forty-five minutes depending on traffic. Taxis are available but tend to cost more than ride-shares. The SMART bus system provides public transit connections but is slow and requires transfers, making it impractical for most travelers. Car rentals are widely available at the airport and are a popular choice given Detroit's car-centric layout and limited public transit infrastructure. A rental car is particularly useful for exploring the metro area. There is no direct rail link between the airport and downtown Detroit, which makes the city more dependent on road-based transportation than most major American destinations."

        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Orlando to Detroit?",

Early morning departures from Orlando International Airport consistently outperform later flights. Delta and Southwest tend to show reasonable punctuality on this corridor, but booking the first departure of the day gives you the best odds of arriving on schedule."
