        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from London to Lagos?",
        "answer": "A direct flight from London (usually Heathrow or Gatwick) to Lagos (LOS) typically takes about 6 hours 15 minutes to 6 hours 30 minutes. With one stop, common layover cities include Amsterdam, Paris, or Istanbul, leading to total travel times of 9 to 12 hours. The return flight from Lagos to London is often slightly shorter, around 6 hours, due to prevailing winds."

      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from London to Lagos?",

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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Lagos?",
        "answer": "Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos offers several ground transportation options to the city center. Official airport taxis and ride-share services like Uber and Bolt are the most reliable and widely used, with journey times ranging from thirty minutes to over an hour depending on traffic. Lagos has no direct mass transit rail link from the airport; the closest BRT bus stops require a taxi or okada to reach. Car rentals are available but driving in Lagos is chaotic and not recommended for visitors. Okadas, or motorcycle taxis, are banned on major roads but still operate in some areas, though they pose safety risks. Most travelers use ride-share apps or airport taxis for safety, convenience, and fixed pricing."
