        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Cairo to Detroit?",
        "answer": "Cairo to Detroit is about 5,950 miles. There is no scheduled nonstop service on this route, so a connection is required; a typical one-stop journey takes approximately 13 to 16 hours in total, depending on the connecting city and layover.",
        "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": "What are the ground transportation options in Detroit?",
        "answer": "Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) offers several ground transportation options to downtown Detroit, including the Detroit Air Xpress (DAX) bus, SMART fixed-route buses, and the FAST limited-stop bus, all departing from both terminals. Ride-share services and taxis are available at the Ground Transportation Centers, and major rental car agencies like Alamo, Avis, Hertz, and Enterprise operate a consolidated rental car campus with a free shuttle. The DAX bus is the most direct and commonly used public transit option, running daily from 3:30 AM to 11 PM with fares of $6 in advance or $8 onboard, while SMART FAST Route 261 offers a faster limited-stop alternative. For drivers, the rental car shuttle is quick and frequent, though ride-share is often preferred for door-to-door convenience.",

        "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.",

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Detroit?",
        "answer": "Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport is the only major commercial airport serving Detroit. It is located about 20 miles southwest of downtown and is a major hub for Delta Air Lines."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Cairo Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Cairo, the most popular ways to reach Cairo International Airport are by ride-share apps like Uber and Careem, which are generally faster and more reliable than the older white taxis that often inflate fares. A dedicated Cairo Airport Shuttle Bus connects the airport with various parts of the city, including Adly Mansour Station on Metro Line 3, offering a budget-friendly option though the metro itself does not reach the airport directly. Private cars and taxis can also use the road network via Heliopolis, but driving means dealing with Cairo's notorious congestion and paying for airport parking, so ride-share is usually the best balance of speed and cost.",
