        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Orlando to Port-au-Prince?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Orlando (MCO) to Port-au-Prince (PAP) typically takes about 2 hours and 10 minutes. Currently, there are no direct flights on this route, so travelers should expect one or more stops. Common layover cities include Miami (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale (FLL). A one-stop itinerary via Miami often totals 4 to 5 hours of travel time, depending on layover duration. The return flight from Port-au-Prince to Orlando is similar in duration for nonstop flights, but with connections it can also range from 4 to 6 hours. Airlines like American and Spirit may offer faster connections through their hubs."

        "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. 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. Aircraft types are taken from the equipment each operating carrier schedules on this route, drawn from published airline timetables and airline equipment schedules in our flight-schedule database. They describe typical scheduled aircraft and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute equipment swaps. 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. Quoted prices come from real-time, bookable flight offers from our airline partners. Prices are dynamic and subject to change throughout the day.",
