        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Adelaide to Sydney?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Adelaide to Sydney typically takes about 2 hours and 5 minutes. Flights with a layover, often in Melbourne, can extend the total travel time to 4 hours or more. The return flight from Sydney to Adelaide has a similar duration."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Adelaide to Sydney?",
        "answer": "Yes, Qantas, Jetstar, and Virgin Australia all fly non‑stop from Adelaide to Sydney, with daily service on each. Qantas offers the most frequency at about 100 flights a week, Jetstar around 80, and Virgin Australia roughly 70, spread across morning, afternoon, and evening departures.",
        "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. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.",
