        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Mexico City to Puerto Escondido?",
        "answer": "The flight from Mexico City to Puerto Escondido is about 280 miles and typically takes 1 hour 23 minutes nonstop. The return flight averages 1 hour 30 minutes, slightly longer due to prevailing winds.",
        "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 Mexico City to Puerto Escondido?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are nonstop flights from Mexico City to Puerto Escondido on three airlines: Aeromexico, Volaris, and VivaAerobus, all operating daily. Aeromexico offers the most frequency with about 46 weekly flights spread throughout the day, while Volaris and VivaAerobus each have around 14 weekly flights with a couple of departures daily. The flight takes roughly 1 hour and 15 to 25 minutes depending on the carrier.",
        "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. 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. Aircraft types are taken from the equipment each operating carrier schedules on this route, drawn from published airline timetables and airline equipment schedules in our flight-schedule database. They describe typical scheduled aircraft and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute equipment swaps.",

        "answer": "Puerto Escondido International Airport has car rental services and small shops in its one-story terminal, but there is no public mass transit or ride-share presence at the airport itself. Taxis are the most commonly used way to get from the airport to the city center, and they are generally the fastest option since the airport is only a few minutes from town. The terminal is compact and walkable, so the short taxi ride is the standard choice for most arrivals. Car rentals are available for travelers who plan to explore the Oaxacan coast independently.",

        "answer": "From downtown Mexico City, the newest and most agile option is the Metrobús Line 4 “Quetzalcóatl” route, which connects Amajac station on Paseo de la Reforma to both terminals of Benito Juárez International Airport for 30 pesos, passing the historic center and main tourist points. The Mexico City Metro is the cheapest public link, with a flat 5-peso fare, though it requires a transfer and can be crowded. Taxis and ride‑share services offer door‑to‑door convenience at a moderate premium, while driving yourself is discouraged during the ongoing airport remodel because parking capacity is temporarily reduced. The Metrobús is currently the most popular and reliable choice, while the Metro is the budget option.",
