        "question": "Which cities in New York can I fly to directly or with one stop from Kathmandu?",
        "answer": "From Kathmandu there are no direct flights to New York. You can fly one-stop to New York City airports like JFK or Newark via major hubs such as Doha, Dubai, or Istanbul. For upstate destinations like Buffalo or Albany, you would typically connect again through a U.S. hub after arriving at a New York City airport."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from Kathmandu to New York?",
        "answer": "There are no non-stop flights from Kathmandu to New York, so typical one-stop itineraries via hubs like Doha, Dubai, or Istanbul take 18 to 22 hours total travel time. Eastbound routes often save an hour or two compared to westbound connections, but overall duration depends heavily on layover length."
      },
      "q2": {
        "question": "Are there direct flights from Kathmandu to New York?",
        "answer": "There are no direct flights from Kathmandu to New York. Most itineraries involve one or two stops via major hubs in the Middle East or Asia, such as Doha, Dubai, or Istanbul, with total travel times typically between 18 and 24 hours depending on layovers."
      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "Which airlines fly from Kathmandu to New York?",
        "answer": "No nonstop flights. You typically fly on Qatar Airways, Emirates, Turkish Airlines or Air India, connecting via Doha, Dubai, Istanbul or Delhi."
      },
      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Kathmandu to New York?",
        "answer": "The cheapest time to fly from Kathmandu to New York is typically during the low season months of January, February, and September, avoiding peak summer and winter holidays. For the best fares, book at least two to three months in advance and consider midweek departures, as Tuesday and Wednesday flights often offer lower prices than weekend travel."
      },
      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Kathmandu to New York?",
        "answer": "Book 8 to 12 weeks ahead for the best balance of price and choice, but if traveling during winter holidays or peak summer, aim for 12 to 16 weeks since demand on this long-haul route often spikes early."
      },
      "q6": {
        "question": "What are the most popular areas to visit in New York and how does that affect where I should fly?",
        "answer": "New York State offers diverse attractions: New York City for iconic sights, Niagara Falls for natural wonder, the Adirondacks for outdoor adventures and the Hudson Valley for history and scenery. Most international travellers fly into JFK or Newark for NYC and connections. For upstate destinations like Buffalo/Niagara, consider flying into Buffalo Niagara International, or connect through NYC airports with a domestic flight or ground transport."
      },
      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a passport or visa to travel from Kathmandu to New York?",
        "answer": "U.S. citizens returning from Kathmandu need a valid U.S. passport to enter New York, but no visa is required. Your passport must be valid at the time of entry; there is no six-month rule for citizens returning home."
      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in New York are best to fly into from Kathmandu?",
        "answer": "From Kathmandu, John F. Kennedy International is the primary New York gateway with the most connecting options, while Newark Liberty also offers easy access to Manhattan and the broader region. LaGuardia handles mainly domestic flights and is not suitable for international arrivals from Kathmandu."
