        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Canberra to Brisbane?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Canberra (CBR) to Brisbane (BNE) typically takes about 1 hour 45 minutes. The return flight from Brisbane to Canberra is usually slightly shorter, around 1 hour 35 minutes, due to prevailing winds. Direct flights are offered by airlines such as Qantas and Virgin Australia, with similar flight times. Flights with layovers, most commonly via Sydney, significantly increase total travel time to around 3.5 to 5 hours depending on the connection."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Canberra to Brisbane?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct non-stop flights from Canberra (CBR) to Brisbane (BNE), operated by Qantas (QF), Virgin Australia (VA), and Jetstar (JQ). All three airlines run daily service, with Qantas offering around 14 departures per day, Virgin Australia about 9 per day, and Jetstar roughly 3 per day, so the route has very frequent non-stop options every day of the week.",
        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Brisbane?",
        "answer": "Brisbane Airport (BNE) offers several ground transportation options to the city center. The Airtrain is the most used and efficient mass transit option, reaching Central Station in about twenty-three minutes with frequent service. Taxis and ride-share services like Uber are readily available, taking approximately twenty minutes in normal traffic but costing more. Car rentals are available at the airport for those needing flexibility, though parking in the city can be expensive. Shuttle buses provide a shared, cheaper alternative but are slower. Public buses connect the airport to nearby areas but are less direct for the city center. For most travelers, the Airtrain offers the best balance of speed, reliability, and cost, making it the preferred choice."

      "q6": {
        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Canberra to Brisbane?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop red-eye flights from Canberra to Brisbane. One-stop itineraries via Melbourne exist where the Melbourne-to-Brisbane leg on Virgin Australia departs around 9:40 PM and arrives near 11:50 PM, but that is a relatively short evening hop rather than a true overnight flight arriving the next morning.",
        "methodology": "Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes — flagging services that depart late at night and arrive the following morning; for connecting itineraries the red-eye is based on the timing of the overnight long-haul leg.",
