        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Cartagena to Bogotá?",

Four airlines — Avianca (AV), LATAM (LA), JetSMART (JA), and Wingo (P5) — operate the route daily, with Avianca offering the most flights at 217 per week, followed by LATAM at 136, JetSMART at 76, and Wingo at 23.

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Bogotá?",
        "answer": "At El Dorado International Airport (BOG), the most-used option is the TransMilenio bus rapid transit system, with a dedicated feeder route from the Portal Eldorado station directly to the airport. Taxis are widely available and offer a faster, more private ride to the city center. Ride-share services like Uber and Cabify operate legally in Bogotá and can be booked via app. Car rentals are also available on-site from major agencies, though driving in Bogotá can be challenging due to traffic. The TransMilenio is the most popular choice for its affordability and dedicated lanes, while taxis and ride-shares are the fastest for door-to-door convenience.",

Avianca, JetSMART, LATAM, and Wingo all offer late‑evening departures, typically between about 9:00 PM and 10:15 PM. The flight is short — roughly 90 minutes — so these red‑eyes land well before midnight the same night, typically around 10:30 PM to 11:45 PM.",
        "methodology": "Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes — flagging services that depart late at night and arrive the following morning; for connecting itineraries the red-eye is based on the timing of the overnight long-haul leg.",

      },
      "q9": {
        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Cartagena to Bogotá?",

        "question": "How do I get to Rafael Nuñez Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Cartagena, you can reach Rafael Núñez International Airport (CTG) by taxi, ride‑share (Uber, Cabify), public bus, or private car. Taxis and ride‑shares are the most popular and quickest, taking about 15–20 minutes depending on traffic and costing moderately more than the bus. Public buses (routes like the Transcaribe feeder) are the cheapest option but slower and less direct. If driving, there is paid parking at the airport, but spaces can fill up during peak travel times.",
