        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Brussels to New York City?",
        "answer": "The flight from Brussels to New York City covers about 3,660 miles. Nonstop service on Brussels Airlines typically takes 8 hours and 45 minutes eastbound, while the return leg from New York is notably shorter at 7 hours and 15 minutes due to prevailing tailwinds.",
        "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.",

      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Brussels to New York City?",
        "answer": "Brussels Airlines flies non‑stop from Brussels (BRU) to New York JFK, with one daily departure at 10:35 AM, seven days a week. The flight is about 8 hours 45 minutes eastbound; the return is roughly 7 hours 15 minutes. It's the only carrier on the route, so if you want a non‑stop, Brussels Airlines is your sole option.",
        "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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in New York City?",
        "answer": "Ground transportation from JFK to New York City includes the AirTrain plus subway or Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), taxi, ride-share, and rental car services, with the AirTrain connecting to the subway at Howard Beach or Jamaica and the LIRR at Jamaica for about $8 plus a separate transit fare. The AirTrain and subway combination is the most commonly used and reliable option, especially during construction, and the LIRR offers a faster 20-minute ride from Penn Station or Grand Central Madison to the AirTrain. Taxis and ride-shares provide door-to-door convenience but are subject to traffic, while rental cars are available through most major companies at the airport's rental car center. The fastest overall is typically the LIRR plus AirTrain for trips to Midtown, while the subway is the most budget-friendly but slower.",

        "question": "Which airport should I use in New York City?",
        "answer": "JFK is the primary international gateway with the most overseas connections. Newark Liberty is closer to Midtown Manhattan and also handles many international flights. LaGuardia mainly serves domestic and regional routes, so it is less likely for a flight from Brussels."

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Brussels Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From central Brussels, the fastest and most popular option is the direct train from Brussels-Central to the airport's underground station, taking about 15–20 minutes with frequent departures. Public bus line 12 (the Airport Line) runs every 10–12 minutes from the city center or European Quarter in about 37 minutes, with a dedicated fare and free transfers within the hour. Taxis and ride-shares are available at the arrivals level but cost significantly more, and driving is possible with on-site parking, though traffic can be heavy and parking fees are higher than public transport.",
