        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Montego Bay to Toronto?",
        "answer": "The flight from Montego Bay to Toronto is about 1,740 miles and typically takes 4 hours and 15 minutes. The return leg is the same duration, so there is no meaningful difference in flight time between directions.",
        "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.",

WestJet leads with around 50 weekly flights operating daily, Air Canada runs about 35 daily, and Air Transat adds roughly 12 flights a week on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. Typical fares run from about $583 on Air Transat up to $922 on Air Canada, with WestJet often the low-fare leader around $719.",
        "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.

The fastest is the Union Pearson Express train, which reaches Union Station in 25 minutes, while the TTC's 900 Airport Express bus and subway connection takes about 45 minutes. Taxis, ride-sharing, and on-site car rentals (Avis/Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, etc.) are also readily available. The UP Express is the most used for its speed and reliability, though the TTC bus is the budget-friendly choice.",

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Toronto?",
        "answer": "Toronto Pearson is the primary international gateway, located about 22 km northwest of downtown, serving major global alliances and most long‑haul flights. Billy Bishop Airport sits on the Toronto Islands just a few minutes from the city centre, handling regional and short‑haul routes mainly via Porter Airlines and Air Canada Express, which makes it convenient for business and quick downtown access."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Montego Bay from the city center?",
        "answer": "Public transportation from Montego Bay city center to Sangster International Airport is limited, as there is no dedicated airport rail or frequent public bus service; most travelers rely on hotel shuttles, private transfers, or taxis. Ride-share apps are not widely available in Jamaica, so pre-arranged shuttles or licensed taxis are the most popular and reliable options. Driving is also common, with airport parking available on-site, though it can be relatively costly for long stays. Taxis and shuttles are generally the fastest way to reach the terminal, while driving offers flexibility but adds parking fees.",
