        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Fort Lauderdale to Port of Spain?",
        "answer": "The nonstop flight from Fort Lauderdale to Port of Spain takes about 3 hours 45 minutes, covering a distance of about 1,630 miles. The return trip is slightly longer at 4 hours 5 minutes due to prevailing winds. Caribbean Airlines operates the route, with flights on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays.",
        "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.",

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Fort Lauderdale to Port of Spain?",
        "answer": "Yes, Caribbean Airlines flies non‑stop from Fort Lauderdale to Port of Spain. It runs eight times a week, operating on Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday with departures around 3:15 PM and 4:15 PM. The flight takes about 3 hours 45 minutes.",
        "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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Port of Spain?",
        "answer": "Piarco International Airport (POS) sits about 19 miles from Port of Spain along the Churchill-Roosevelt Highway, and the most-used way into the city is by private car or taxi, with American-style point-to-point taxis that can be booked for specific journeys growing in popularity. Public transport is provided by government-owned PTSC buses and privately owned maxi-taxis—shared minibuses that run fixed routes at fixed fares—though they require getting from the airport to a loading point like City Gate or South Quay in downtown Port of Spain. For the fastest airport-to-city transfer, a pre-arranged taxi or rental car is your best bet, since there is no direct rail link and the old railway was discontinued in 1968. Ride-share services are not widely available, and while car rentals exist, most visitors rely on taxis or arranged transport for the roughly 30–40 minute drive into Port of Spain.",
