        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Mexico City to Reynosa?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Mexico City (MEX) to Reynosa (REX) typically takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes. There are no common layover options on this route as most flights are direct, and the return flight duration is similar."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Mexico City to Reynosa?",
        "answer": "Yes, Aeromexico and Viva Aerobus both fly nonstop from Mexico City to Reynosa. Aeromexico operates up to 36 weekly flights with multiple daily departures clustered around early afternoon, while Viva Aerobus runs 14 weekly flights with departures around 6:00–6:10 AM. Both airlines serve the route daily.",
        "methodology": "Carrier service and weekly frequencies are summarized from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). Where available, on-time and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, and typical fares from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold. 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.",

      "q2": {
        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Mexico City to Reynosa?",
        "answer": "This is a domestic flight within Mexico, so no visa or travel authorization is required for Mexican nationals. Foreign visitors already in Mexico on a valid visa or entry permit can travel domestically without additional documentation, provided their Mexican immigration status remains valid."
      },
      "q6": {
        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Mexico City to Reynosa?",
        "answer": "No overnight (red-eye) flights are available from Mexico City to Reynosa — neither nonstop nor connecting itineraries with a red-eye long leg are scheduled 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.",

Both carriers serve the route daily. Specific per-carrier fares aren't listed in the schedule data, so typical prices aren't available here.",

        "question": "If I need a connection, what are common layover cities between Mexico City and Reynosa?",

      },
      "q9": {
        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Mexico City to Reynosa?",
        "answer": "On-time performance is generally reliable, though afternoon thunderstorms in Mexico City can cause delays. Early flights tend to depart on schedule, and Aeromexico often maintains good punctuality on this route."
      },
      "q10": {
        "question": "Which months have the best weather for traveling to Reynosa?",

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Reynosa?",
        "answer": "Reynosa has only one airport, General Lucio Blanco International Airport, located about 10 km east of downtown."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Benito Juárez Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Mexico City, the Metrobús Line 4 is the cheapest and often fastest public transit option, running from 04:30 to midnight daily with direct service to both terminals. Authorized airport taxis and ride‑share apps like Uber are widely available and more convenient, especially with luggage, though they cost significantly more. Several intercity bus companies also operate from the airport’s terminals to nearby cities, but these are not practical for reaching the airport from the city center. Driving and parking is possible but generally discouraged due to heavy traffic and limited, expensive parking at the airport.",
