        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Fresno to Toronto?",
        "answer": "No nonstop flights operate between Fresno (FAT) and Toronto (YTO). The shortest one-stop connections typically route through San Francisco (SFO) on United or Air Canada, with total travel times around 5 to 6 hours including a layover of roughly an hour and a half. Other common connecting points include Denver, Chicago O'Hare, and Dallas/Fort Worth, with total journey times ranging from about 6½ to 8½ hours.",
        "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.",

Taxis, limos, ride sharing, and car rentals (Avis/Budget, Dollar/Thrifty, Enterprise, Hertz, National/Alamo) are all available on site, along with TTC express buses that connect to the subway in about 45 minutes and GO buses to the suburbs. The UP Express is the most-used option for city-center access due to its speed and reliability, though TTC buses offer a cheaper alternative.",

Both connect from Fresno on United or Air Canada with layovers of roughly 3½ to 7 hours.",

Air Canada and United are the main carriers on this route, with Air Canada's most common routing via Los Angeles (about 10 daily connections) and United's via Chicago O'Hare (7 daily).

        "answer": "Toronto Pearson is the primary international airport, located about 22.5 km northwest of downtown. It handles most major airlines and alliances, making it the best choice for international arrivals. Billy Bishop Airport is on an island just off downtown, offering regional and domestic flights, mainly with Porter Airlines, and is convenient for business travellers heading to the city centre."

        "question": "How do I get to Yosemite Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Fresno Yosemite International Airport sits just over 5 miles northeast of downtown Fresno, with driving or a ride-share being the most popular and fastest options, typically taking around 15 minutes. Public transit via Fresno Area Express (FAX) bus routes serves the airport, but service is limited and slower. Taxis and shuttle services are available curbside, generally costing more than ride-share but less convenient than having a car. Parking at FAT is plentiful and relatively affordable compared to larger California airports, making driving a solid choice if you need to leave a vehicle.",

Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated.
