        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Guatemala City to Orlando?",
        "answer": "The flight from Guatemala City to Orlando covers about 1,120 miles. Nonstop service on Frontier typically takes 3 hours and 8 minutes, with the return flight taking 3 hours and 12 minutes.",
        "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 Guatemala City to Orlando?",
        "answer": "Frontier flies nonstop from Guatemala City to Orlando three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with departures around 9:02 AM and 12:37 PM. The flight takes about 3 hours and 8 minutes. Frontier is the only airline with nonstop service on this route.",
        "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. 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. 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.",

        "answer": "Orlando International Airport offers several ground transportation options into the city center. The Brightline intercity rail service from the airport's Intermodal Terminal provides fast, direct service to downtown Orlando and continues to Miami, and is the fastest option for reaching the city center. Rental cars are available on-airport and off-airport, and taxis, ride shares, and shuttles operate from the terminal. The most used option is typically a rental car, given Orlando's spread-out attractions and lack of comprehensive mass transit into the city center from the airport.",

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Orlando?",
        "answer": "Orlando has two main airports. Orlando International is the primary airport, located southeast of downtown, and serves as a hub for major airlines and international flights. Orlando Sanford is farther north, mainly used by low-cost carriers and charter flights, and is less convenient for the theme parks."

        "question": "How do I get to La Aurora Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "La Aurora International Airport (GUA) is located about 6.4 km (4 miles) south of downtown Guatemala City, so it's a short drive or ride. The most popular options are taxis and ride-share services like Uber, which are also the fastest, typically taking 10–20 minutes depending on traffic, and cost more than public buses. Public transportation is available via Transmetro and Transurbano buses, which are the cheapest but slower and less direct. Driving yourself is possible, with parking available at the airport, though traffic and parking fees make it less convenient than a taxi or ride-share for most visitors.",
