        "answer": "The flight from Fort Lauderdale to Cartagena is about 1,120 miles and typically takes 2 hours and 53 minutes nonstop. The return leg is slightly longer at 3 hours. JetBlue operates the route four days a week.",
        "methodology": "Flight times and distances come 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). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.",

It's the only airline offering a nonstop on this route; the median fare runs around $9,068.",
        "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. Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come 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). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.",

Transcaribe, the city's bus rapid transit system, links the airport area via the Crespo neighborhood to the historic center and southeastern suburbs, offering a cheaper mass-transit alternative. Ride-share services also operate in Cartagena, and car rental desks are available at the airport, though driving in the old city is impractical. The airport sits in the Crespo district just north of the center, so all options are relatively short.",

Ride-share, taxis, and private shuttles are also available and generally faster, while driving means parking at the airport or nearby lots. The bus is the most budget-friendly, Tri-Rail is a good mid-range option, and ride-share or taxi is quickest and most popular for door-to-door convenience.",
