        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Aruba Island to Orlando?",
        "answer": "The flight from Aruba Island to Orlando covers about 1,320 miles. Nonstop flights on Southwest typically take 3 hours and 25 minutes eastbound; the return leg is shorter at 3 hours and 5 minutes, a 20-minute difference due to prevailing winds.",
        "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": "At Orlando International Airport (MCO), the main ground transportation options to the city center are rental cars, ride-share services, taxis, and public transit. Rental cars are available on-airport and off-airport, and ride-share and taxi services provide direct door-to-door convenience, while public transit via the intermodal terminal is limited to Brightline inter-city rail (to Miami) and a proposed SunRail extension that is not yet operational. The fastest option is typically a ride-share or taxi, and the most used is generally ride-share or rental car given Orlando's spread-out attractions.",

        "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.",

        "answer": "Common layover cities include Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta and Charlotte. Miami and Fort Lauderdale offer short connection times due to their geographic proximity. Atlanta provides extensive onward connections to Orlando, while Charlotte offers efficient transfers with a compact terminal layout. All are U.S. hubs with preclearance available in Aruba, so you clear U.S. immigration before departure and arrive in Orlando as a domestic passenger."

        "question": "What documents should I bring with me to the airport when flying from Aruba Island to Orlando?",

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Orlando?",
        "answer": "Orlando International is the primary airport, close to downtown and major theme parks, served by most domestic and international airlines. Orlando Sanford is farther north, mainly used by low‑cost and charter carriers, and is less convenient for central Orlando. Orlando International is the better choice for most travellers."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Queen Beatrix Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Oranjestad, the Arubus public bus system (routes L1, L2, L3A, and others) connects the city center to Queen Beatrix International Airport, with regular fares around $2.60 USD and service from early morning until late night. Taxis and ride-share services are readily available and offer the fastest door-to-door option, though at a higher cost than the bus. Driving yourself is also common, with rental cars and airport parking available, but the bus is the most popular budget-friendly choice for solo travelers.",
