        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Oaxaca City to Mexico City?",
        "answer": "A direct flight from Oaxaca (OAX) to Mexico City (MEX) typically takes about 1 hour 10 minutes. Return flights from Mexico City to Oaxaca are similar in duration. There are no major differences in flight time among airlines operating this route, as most nonstop flights are around the same length. Layover flights are uncommon on this short route and would significantly increase total travel time."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Oaxaca City to Mexico City?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct nonstop flights from Oaxaca City (OAX) to Mexico City (MEX) on Aeromexico, VivaAerobus, and Volaris, all operating daily. Aeromexico runs roughly 24 flights a day, VivaAerobus about 3, and Volaris 2, giving you frequent 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 Mexico City?",
        "answer": "Mexico City International Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez) offers several ways to reach the city center. The Metrobús Line 4 runs from both terminals to the historic center in about forty minutes and is the cheapest option. Authorized airport taxis are available at fixed rates and provide a safe, direct trip in about thirty minutes depending on traffic. Ride‑share services like Uber and Didi operate from the airport and are widely used for their convenience and price transparency. The Metro is accessible via Terminal 1, but it is less practical with luggage due to crowds and stairs. Car rentals are available but driving in Mexico City is challenging for visitors. Most travelers use ride‑share or authorized taxis for a balance of safety, comfort, and cost."
