        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Cairo to Amman?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Cairo (CAI) to Amman (AMM) typically takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Return flights are similar, around 1 hour and 15–20 minutes. Nonstop service is offered by airlines like EgyptAir and Royal Jordanian, with no significant time difference between them."
      },
      "q2": {
        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Cairo to Amman?",
        "answer": "Yes — visa requirements apply for flights between Cairo and Amman depending on citizenship. For Egyptian nationals: Jordan offers a visa on arrival for Egyptian citizens at Amman’s Queen Alia International Airport, valid for up to 30 days. For Jordanian nationals: Egypt requires a visa for Jordanian passport holders; you can obtain a single‑entry 30‑day visa on arrival at Cairo airport, or apply for an e‑visa online in advance. Travelers of other nationalities should check with Jordanian and Egyptian immigration for their specific requirements."
      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Amman?",
        "answer": "Taxis are the most straightforward and widely used option from Queen Alia International Airport to central Amman, with fixed-rate airport taxis available 24/7 and taking about 35–45 minutes. Ride‑sharing apps like Uber and Careem also operate, offering similar convenience and pricing. A dedicated airport express bus (Sariyah Airport Express) runs to the North Bus Station and Tabarbour, but it does not serve the downtown core directly. Public city buses (Amman Bus) have a stop near the airport perimeter, though the walk is long and the service is better suited for local trips than an airport transfer. Car rental desks are present, but driving in Amman’s heavy traffic can be challenging for first‑time visitors.",

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.",

      },
      "q14": {
        "question": "Are there hotels or sleeping facilities at Amman airport?",
        "answer": "Amman Airport does not have on-site hotels, capsule hotels, or sleeping pods inside the terminal.
