        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Toronto?",
        "answer": "From Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to downtown, the Union Pearson Express (UP Express) train is the fastest and most popular option, reaching Union Station in twenty-five minutes with departures every fifteen minutes. Public transit via TTC buses connecting to the subway is slower and less direct, taking about fifty to sixty minutes. Taxis and ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are readily available, with a typical journey of thirty to forty-five minutes depending on traffic, though they cost more. Car rentals are available at the airport but are not recommended for city-center travel due to congestion and parking costs. Most travelers use the UP Express for its speed, reliability, and comfort."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Accra to Toronto?",

For summer or holiday travel, booking even earlier—around 12 to 16 weeks ahead—can help avoid price spikes, as demand tends to increase closer to those periods.",
