        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Flores to Guatemala City?",
        "answer": "A direct flight from Flores (FRS) to Guatemala City (GUA) typically takes about 1 hour. There are no common layover options on this short domestic route, as nonstop service is the standard. Return flights have the same duration."
      },
      "q6": {
        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Flores to Guatemala City?",
        "answer": "No overnight (red‑eye) flights are available from Flores (FRS) to Guatemala City (GUA) — neither nonstop nor connecting itineraries with a red‑eye long leg operate on this route.",
        "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.",

      "q7": {
        "question": "Which airlines usually operate this route from Flores to Guatemala City?",
        "answer": "TAG Airlines and Avianca fly nonstop from Flores to Guatemala City. TAG offers around 35 weekly flights with departures throughout the day, while Avianca operates about 21 weekly flights, mostly in the morning and evening. Specific median fares aren't available, but you can expect frequent daily service on both carriers.",
        "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.",

      "q9": {
        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Flores to Guatemala City?",
        "answer": "On‑time performance is generally decent, but afternoon flights can face delays due to weather. Morning departures on TAG Airlines tend to be more punctual."
      },
      "q10": {
        "question": "Which months have the best weather for traveling to Guatemala City?",
        "answer": "November to April offers dry, warm days with clear skies and fewer tourists."
      },
      "q11": {
        "question": "What documents should I bring with me to the airport when flying from Flores to Guatemala City?",
        "answer": "For domestic flights within Guatemala, bring a valid passport or national ID, ensure your name matches the ticket, and carry a payment method for baggage. No visa or proof of onward travel is required, but check if vaccination certificates are needed for entry to certain areas."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Guatemala City?",
        "answer": "Guatemala City has only one airport, La Aurora International Airport (GUA). It is located about 6 km south of the city center, close to Zone 10, the main business and hotel district, and serves as the country's primary hub for domestic and international flights."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Mundo Maya Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Flores, the quickest way to reach Mundo Maya International Airport is by taxi or ride‑share, which takes about 5–10 minutes and is the most popular option for its convenience. Shuttle buses and colectivos also run the short distance from the island and Santa Elena, offering a very affordable shared alternative, though they may involve a short walk from the causeway. Driving yourself is possible with rental car agencies in the area, and parking is available at the airport, but it’s rarely needed given the proximity. Public buses are limited, so most travelers rely on taxis or shuttles.",
