        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Bogotá to Cúcuta?",
        "answer": "A direct flight from Bogotá (BOG) to Cúcuta (CUC) typically takes about 1 hour and 5 minutes. The return flight is similar in duration, usually around 1 hour and 10 minutes. There are no significant layover options for this short domestic route, as it is nearly always served nonstop by airlines like Avianca and LATAM."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Bogotá to Cúcuta?",
        "answer": "Yes, Avianca and LATAM Airlines both fly non‑stop from Bogotá to Cúcuta. Avianca offers up to 140 weekly flights spread across the day from early morning to late evening, while LATAM operates about 28 weekly flights, also daily. Both carriers run the route every day of the week.",
        "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.",

      },

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Cúcuta?",
        "answer": "Camilo Daza International Airport (CUC) is only about 5 km from the center of Cúcuta, so ground transportation is straightforward. Taxis are the most common and fastest option, with a short ride to downtown; ride-share services like Uber are also available but may be less prevalent. There is no mass transit directly from the airport, and car rentals are available but not widely used for city-center trips given the proximity. For a quick and reliable transfer, taxis are the go-to choice.",

        "question": "How do I get to El Dorado Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Bogotá, the fastest and most popular way to reach El Dorado International Airport is by taxi or ride‑share, which offer direct door‑to‑terminal service and take about 20–40 minutes depending on traffic. A cheaper public option is the TransMilenio bus rapid transit system: take the J or K trunk lines to Portal Eldorado station and then a free feeder bus (route 16‑14) that drops you right at the terminal. Private shuttle buses and hotel shuttles are also available, and driving yourself is possible with both short‑term and long‑term parking on‑site, though traffic on Avenida El Dorado can be heavy.",
