        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Casablanca to New York?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Casablanca (CMN) to New York (JFK) typically takes about 7 hours 30 minutes to 8 hours. The return flight from New York to Casablanca often takes slightly longer, around 6 hours 45 minutes to 7 hours 15 minutes, due to prevailing winds. With one stop, common layover cities include Lisbon, Madrid, and Paris, leading to total travel times of roughly 11 to 14 hours. Royal Air Maroc operates the only direct flights, while airlines like TAP Air Portugal and Iberia offer one-stop options."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Casablanca to New York?",
        "answer": "Yes, Royal Air Maroc (AT) flies non‑stop from Casablanca (CMN) to New York JFK with three daily departures, operating every day of the week. It is the only airline offering non‑stop service on this route.",
        "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. Carrier service and weekly frequencies are summarized from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). Where available, on-time and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, and typical fares from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.",

        "answer": "Yes, there are visa requirements. U.S. citizens traveling from Casablanca to New York do not need a visa to enter the United States.

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in New York?",
        "answer": "New York is served by three major airports: JFK, LaGuardia (LGA), and Newark (EWR). From JFK, the AirTrain connects to the subway (A or E lines) and Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) at Jamaica Station; subway takes about 60-75 minutes to Midtown Manhattan, while LIRR is faster at about 35 minutes but costs more. Taxis and ride-shares take 45-90 minutes depending on traffic, with flat-rate taxi fares to Manhattan. From LaGuardia, no direct rail exists; buses (M60-SBS, Q70-SBS) connect to subway lines, taking 45-75 minutes. Taxis and ride-shares are common but slower in traffic. From Newark, the AirTrain links to NJ Transit trains to Penn Station in about 30-45 minutes; taxis and ride-shares take 45-90 minutes. Car rentals are available at all airports but are not recommended for city travel due to congestion and parking costs. Most travelers use mass transit from JFK and Newark for its cost-effectiveness and reliability, while from LaGuardia, ride-shares are heavily used due to limited transit options."
