        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Houston to Querétaro?",
        "answer": "No scheduled nonstop flights operate between Houston Hobby and Querétaro; the route requires a connection. The airport-to-airport distance is about 695 miles. A typical one-stop journey takes roughly 4 to 6 hours total, depending on the connecting city and layover 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.",

        "question": "How do I get to William P Hobby Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Houston to William P. Hobby Airport, the most direct public option is METRO Bus 500, a nonstop service to the George R. Brown Convention Center area that runs every 30 minutes for $4.50 one way; the slower local METRO Bus 40 also serves the airport. Ride-share apps like Uber and Lyft, taxis, and rental cars are available at HOU, with ride-share and taxi generally being fastest and most popular for door-to-door service. Driving yourself is possible and parking is offered at the airport, though it may be more expensive than public transit. Shared shuttles and hotel courtesy shuttles provide additional lower-cost options from the airport's curb zones.",

Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated.
