        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Boston to Madrid?",
        "answer": "The flight from Boston to Madrid is about 3,400 miles and typically takes 6 hours 55 minutes nonstop. The return leg is longer at 8 hours 20 minutes, a difference driven by prevailing winds. Connecting itineraries usually add two to five hours of total travel time.",
        "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.",

You may stay for up to 90 days within any 180-day period.\n\nA quick note: this is general guidance to help you plan, not official immigration advice — entry rules can change and can depend on your nationality and circumstances, so please confirm the current requirements with the relevant embassy or official government source before you travel.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Madrid?",
        "answer": "From Madrid-Barajas Airport, the fastest and most reliable option into the city center is the metro, which connects all terminals to central Madrid in about 25–30 minutes, with Line 8 from the airport to Nuevos Ministerios and onward transfers. The EMT airport express bus (Line 203) runs 24 hours between Atocha and the airport, stopping at key hubs like Cibeles and O'Donnell, and is the most popular choice for visitors staying near the historic center. Taxis are readily available at all terminals with a flat rate to the city center, while ride-share services like Uber, Cabify, and Bolt also operate from designated pickup zones. Car rentals are available at the airport, but driving into Madrid's central districts is generally discouraged due to traffic restrictions and limited parking. For most travelers, the metro is the fastest option, but the airport express bus is the most used for its direct service and luggage space.",

        "answer": "From downtown Boston, the MBTA Silver Line 1 (SL1) bus offers direct service from South Station to all Logan terminals, and the trip from the airport to downtown is free, making it the most popular and affordable option. The Blue Line subway connects downtown to Airport Station with a free shuttle to terminals, and Logan Express buses serve Back Bay and other points. Ride-share (Uber/Lyft) and taxis are readily available and faster but more expensive, while driving offers Central Parking, Economy Parking, and terminal garages, with advance reservations available.
