        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Cartagena to Bogotá?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Cartagena (CTG) to Bogotá (BOG) typically takes about 1 hour 30 minutes. There are no common layover routes since it is a short domestic hop, and the return flight duration is essentially the same. Airlines like Avianca, LATAM, and Wingo offer similar flight times on this route."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Cartagena to Bogotá?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct nonstop flights from Cartagena (CTG) to Bogotá (BOG) operated by Avianca (AV), LATAM (LA), JetSMART (JA), and Wingo (P5), all running daily. Avianca is the most frequent with about 217 weekly flights, followed by LATAM with 136, JetSMART with 76, and Wingo with 23, giving travelers numerous departure options throughout the day.",
        "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 Bogotá?",
        "answer": "From El Dorado International Airport (BOG) to central Bogotá, you have several options. Licensed taxis are readily available outside the terminals and are the most used and convenient choice, taking about twenty to thirty minutes to reach the city center depending on traffic. Ride-share services like Uber and Cabify also operate but may involve slightly longer wait times or pickup restrictions. The TransMilenio bus rapid transit system has a station near the airport, but you must take a shuttle bus to reach it, and the ride can be crowded and less comfortable with luggage. Regular buses are not recommended for visitors due to complexity and safety concerns. Car rentals are available but driving in Bogotá is challenging and parking is scarce. For most travelers, authorized taxis offer the best balance of ease, safety, and cost."

      "q6": {
        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Cartagena to Bogotá?",
        "answer": "Yes, overnight red-eye flights are available from Cartagena (CTG) to Bogotá (BOG) on Avianca (AV), JetSMART (JA), LATAM (LA), and Wingo (P5), with departures typically between 9:00 PM and 10:15 PM and arrivals the same night or early morning (the flight is about 1.5 hours). Avianca and LATAM offer multiple daily red-eyes around 9:25–10:05 PM, while JetSMART runs the most with departures spread across the 9:00–10:15 PM window.",
        "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.",

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