        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Guadalajara (GDL) to Ciudad Juárez (CJS) typically takes about 2 hours 20 minutes.

      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Ciudad Juárez?",
        "answer": "From Abraham González International Airport (CJS), taxis are the most used and quickest way to reach downtown Ciudad Juárez, which is about 12 km away. The terminal has official taxi stands, and you can also find car rental services on-site. There is no direct mass transit link like a metro or train from the airport; public buses serve the area but are less convenient for visitors. Ride-share options may be limited or restricted, so a taxi or rental car is your best bet.",

        "answer": "Common layover cities include Mexico City, Monterrey, and Tijuana. Mexico City offers the most frequent connections and efficient transfers via Aeromexico’s hub, while Monterrey and Tijuana provide shorter overall flight times on airlines like Viva Aerobus and Volaris. All are domestic, so no visa or transit requirements apply."
      },
      "q9": {
        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Guadalajara to Ciudad Juárez?",
        "answer": "On‑time performance is generally good, but afternoon flights can experience delays due to operational or weather issues. Early morning departures, particularly on Volaris, tend to be more punctual."

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Ciudad Juárez?",
        "answer": "Ciudad Juárez has only one commercial airport, Abraham González International Airport (CJS), located about 12 km south of downtown, serving domestic flights."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Guadalajara Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Guadalajara, you can reach GDL Airport by public bus, taxi, ride‑share, or pre‑booked shuttle. Taxis and ride‑shares are the most popular and fastest, taking about 30‑40 minutes depending on traffic, while public buses are the cheapest but slower. Pre‑arranged private transfers in sedans, minivans, or larger vans offer fixed rates and are convenient for groups. Driving yourself is also an option, with both short‑term and long‑term parking available at the airport.",
