        "answer": "Yes, multiple airlines fly nonstop from Catania to Rome Fiumicino (FCO) daily. ITA Airways (AZ) operates up to 83 weekly flights, Ryanair (FR) up to 78, and Aeroitalia (XZ) and Flexflight (W2) each offer 32 weekly flights, all with departures spread throughout the day from early morning through late evening.

Ryanair runs up to 12 overnight departures a week, typically leaving between 9:05 PM and 11:20 PM, while ITA Airways has 8 weekly red‑eyes departing around 9:25–9:30 PM. Because the flight is only about an hour and a half, these late-evening departures arrive Rome the same night — typically around 10:30 PM to 12:50 AM, not the next morning.",

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Rome?",
        "answer": "Fiumicino is Rome's main international hub, well-connected to the city, and hosts major alliances. Ciampino is closer to central Rome and serves low-cost carriers. Choose Fiumicino for full-service flights and Ciampino for budget options."

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Catania-Fontanarossa Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Catania, the fastest and most popular way to reach Catania-Fontanarossa Airport is the AMT Alibus shuttle, which runs frequently from the central train station and other stops, taking about 20–30 minutes. Taxis and ride‑share services are also readily available, offering a door‑to‑door trip in roughly the same time but at a higher cost. Driving is an option, with on‑site parking, though traffic can add delays. There is no direct train service to the airport terminal.",
