        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Cairo to Boston?",
        "answer": "The flight distance from Cairo to Boston is about 5,420 miles. There is no scheduled nonstop service on this route, so travel requires a connection; approximate total journey times for one-stop itineraries typically range from 14 to 17 hours depending on the layover.",
        "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": "Are there any direct flights from Cairo to Boston?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop flights from Cairo to Boston. The most common one‑stop routings connect through European hubs like London Heathrow (BA), Frankfurt (Lufthansa), or Paris CDG (Air France), with a total travel time typically around 20 to 21 hours including the layover. Fares on a one‑stop itinerary generally start around $760 and median around $1,200.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "Boston Logan offers several ground transportation options into the city: the MBTA Silver Line SL1 bus is free to South Station and the most-used public transit route, while the Blue Line subway also connects downtown via a free shuttle to Airport Station. Taxis, ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, water taxis and ferries, Logan Express buses, and car rentals are all available, with taxis and ride-share being the fastest door-to-door for most travelers. The Silver Line is typically the most affordable and heavily used option for budget-conscious visitors, though traffic can make it slower than the subway during peak hours.",

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Cairo Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Cairo, the most popular way to reach Cairo International Airport is by ride‑share (Uber or Careem) or the official white taxis, with ride‑share generally considered faster and more reliable, though taxis are cheaper if you negotiate the fare. Public transit is limited: the Cairo Metro does not reach the airport, but the Cairo Airport Shuttle Bus runs from Adly Mansour Station (Line 3 terminus) and across the city, offering the lowest‑cost option. Driving yourself is possible, with parking at the airport, but traffic in Cairo is notoriously heavy, so it is often the slowest choice. For most travelers, ride‑share offers the best balance of speed, convenience, and predictable cost.",

If that doesn't suit, several nearby hotels offer free airport shuttles, including the Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor and Embassy Suites by Hilton Boston at Logan Airport. Sleeping in the terminal itself is possible but unpredictable, with cold temperatures, overnight music, and inconsistent access policies.",
