        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Cancún to Toronto?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Cancún (CUN) to Toronto (YYZ) typically takes about 3 hours 45 minutes to 4 hours. The return flight from Toronto to Cancún is usually slightly shorter, around 3 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours 45 minutes, due to prevailing winds. With a layover, common connecting cities include Mexico City, Miami, or Dallas, and total travel time often ranges from 6 to 10 hours depending on the connection duration."

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Cancún to Toronto?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct non‑stop flights from Cancún (CUN) to Toronto (YYZ). Five airlines operate the route: WestJet (WS) runs the most with about 104 weekly flights, followed by Air Canada (AC) at 91, Air Transat (TS) at 52, Porter Airlines (PD) at 27, and Flair Airlines (F8) at 20 — all with daily service.",
        "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": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Cancún to Toronto?",
        "answer": "Visa requirements for travel from Cancún to Toronto depend on your nationality. If you are a Mexican citizen, you currently need a visa to enter Canada, unless you qualify for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) by having held a Canadian visa in the last 10 years or holding a valid U.S. non-immigrant visa. If you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you do not need a visa to enter Canada. Travelers of other nationalities should check Canada's visa rules, as many require an eTA or a visitor visa. Always verify the latest entry rules before travel."

      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Toronto?",
        "answer": "Toronto Pearson International Airport is about 25 km northwest of downtown Toronto. The UP Express train is the fastest option, reaching Union Station in 25 minutes and running every 15 minutes. TTC buses connect to subway stations but are slower and less convenient with luggage. Taxis and ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are available at designated zones; a trip downtown takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on traffic and costs a flat rate of about CAD 66 by taxi. Car rentals are on-site and useful for exploring beyond the city but not recommended for central Toronto due to congestion and parking costs. The UP Express is the most used and recommended method for its speed and reliability."
