        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from New York City to Conakry?",
        "answer": "New York JFK to Conakry is about 4,230 miles. Since no nonstop flights are scheduled on this route, travel requires a connection, and a typical total journey time is approximately 13 to 15 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.",

The eVisa permits a stay of up to 90 days.\n\nThis is general guidance to help you plan, not official immigration advice — entry rules can change and can depend on your nationality and circumstances, so please confirm the current requirements with the relevant embassy or official government source before you travel.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Conakry?",
        "answer": "From Conakry International Airport, the most common way into the city center is by taxi — in Guinea cabs are typically any four-door vehicle the owner designates for hire, and many charge per seat, making them the default option for locals and visitors alike. Shared minibuses also run around town, though they are geared toward residents rather than airport transfers. There is no dedicated airport express train or metro; the city's only rail line (the Conakry Express) serves a 30 km commuter corridor and does not connect to the airport. Ride-sharing apps and formal car rentals are essentially absent or unreliable, so a pre-arranged hotel pickup or a taxi negotiated at the terminal is the most practical choice. Taxis are the most used modality overall, and they are also the fastest realistic option given the lack of alternatives.",

These depart JFK or Newark between roughly 6:10 PM and 9:45 PM, with the overnight leg arriving at Brussels (7:40–7:45 AM), Casablanca (8:50 AM), or Lomé (11:50 AM) before connecting onward to Conakry on Brussels Airlines, Royal Air Maroc, or Ethiopian Airlines / ASKY.",
        "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.",

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to John F Kennedy Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From Midtown Manhattan, the fastest and most popular option is the subway or Long Island Rail Road to Jamaica or Howard Beach stations, then transferring to the AirTrain JFK, which reaches any terminal in under 20 minutes; the AirTrain costs $8 per ride on top of your subway or rail fare. Public buses also serve the airport, and ride‑share services like Uber and Lyft, as well as taxis, offer door‑to‑door convenience at a higher cost. Driving is possible via the JFK Expressway or Van Wyck Expressway, but parking at the airport is expensive, so most travelers prefer transit.",

For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. 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. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.",
