        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from London to Abuja?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from London Heathrow (LHR) to Abuja (ABV) typically takes about 6 hours 15 minutes to 6 hours 30 minutes. With one stop, common layovers include Istanbul or Frankfurt, bringing total travel time to around 10 to 13 hours. The return flight from Abuja to London is often slightly shorter, around 6 hours 5 minutes to 6 hours 20 minutes nonstop, due to prevailing winds. British Airways and Air Peace offer direct services with similar flight times."

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.",
