        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Belo Horizonte to Miami?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop flights from Belo Horizonte (CNF) to Miami. The quickest way is a one-stop connection, most commonly through São Paulo (GRU) with American Airlines or LATAM, taking about 12 hours 50 minutes total. Gol and Copa also offer one-stop options via Brasília or Panama City, with typical fares starting around $639.",
        "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. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price. 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.",

The Metrorail is the most-used and fastest option for reaching downtown, with trains running every 30 minutes on weekdays and more frequently on weekends for $2.25 each way, while taxis and ride-shares are convenient but more expensive. Rental cars require a free MIA Mover ride to the Rental Car Center, and shuttles to PortMiami and the Florida Keys are also available.",

        "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.",

Taxis are convenient but relatively pricey (historically around US$40), while the shuttle and public bus offer more affordable options. Driving is possible via the improved MG-10 highway (Linha Verde), with parking available at the airport. The Executive Shuttle Bus is generally the most popular balance of cost and comfort, though a taxi or ride-share is fastest for door-to-door service.",
