        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Fort Lauderdale to Cali?",
        "answer": "Fort Lauderdale to Cali is about 1,580 miles. There is no scheduled nonstop service on this route, so a connection is required; a typical one-stop journey takes approximately 6 to 9 hours total, depending on the 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.",

        "answer": "From Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport (CLO) to Cali’s city center, taxis are the most used and generally reliable option, with a typical fare around COP 50,000–60,000 and a 30–40 minute ride depending on traffic. Ride-share services like Uber and Didi operate in Cali and can be slightly cheaper than taxis, though pickup areas may be less convenient. Mass transit is available via the MÍO bus system, but it requires a feeder bus from the airport to a trunk station and is slower and less comfortable for travelers with luggage. Car rentals are offered at the airport by major agencies, but driving in Cali is not recommended for visitors unfamiliar with local traffic. Overall, taxis are the fastest and most practical choice for most travelers.",
