        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Geneva to New York City?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Geneva to New York City is about 3,850 miles and typically takes 9 hours, while the return leg is about 1 hour 10 minutes shorter at 7 hours 50 minutes, due to prevailing tailwinds. Connecting itineraries usually add at least a few hours, with total journey times often ranging from roughly 12 to 16 hours.",
        "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 Geneva to New York City?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct non‑stop flights from Geneva to New York City. SWISS operates daily service to JFK, and United runs twice‑daily flights to Newark (EWR), giving a total of 21 weekly non‑stops. Both carriers fly every day of the week, so you can find a direct flight any day.",
        "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 Manhattan includes the AirTrain plus subway or Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), taxis, ride-share services, rental cars, and hotel shuttles. The AirTrain connects to the subway and LIRR at Jamaica or Howard Beach stations, with the LIRR reaching Penn Station or Grand Central in about 20 minutes after the AirTrain ride; the combined AirTrain plus transit fare is typically under $15. Taxis and ride-shares are the most commonly used door-to-door options, especially for those with luggage or late arrivals, though they can be slower and pricier during traffic. The LIRR via AirTrain is often the fastest reliable option to midtown, while the subway is the cheapest. Rental cars are available but generally not recommended for city-center travel due to traffic and parking costs.",

        "answer": "New York City has three major airports. John F. Kennedy International handles most international flights and is the primary gateway for long‑haul travel. LaGuardia is closest to Manhattan and mainly serves domestic and short‑haul routes. Newark Liberty International is in New Jersey but often more convenient for Lower Manhattan, with a strong mix of domestic and international services."

        "question": "How do I get to Cointrin Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Geneva Airport (Cointrin) is served by a dedicated underground railway station just 250 meters from the terminal via a covered walkway, with trains departing every 15 minutes to the city’s main station, Genève-Cornavin, in about 6–7 minutes—this is the fastest and most popular option. Public transit also includes local buses and the Léman Express regional rail network, while taxis and ride-share services offer door-to-door convenience at a higher cost. Driving is possible with on-site parking, though it is generally the most expensive choice for city-center departures.",

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.
