        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Mexico City to Reynosa?",
        "answer": "The flight from Mexico City to Reynosa is about 460 miles, with a typical nonstop flight time of 1 hour 45 minutes. The return leg is slightly longer at 1 hour 50 minutes due to prevailing winds.",
        "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": "What are the ground transportation options in Reynosa?",
        "answer": "From General Lucio Blanco International Airport (REX), the most practical way to reach Reynosa's city center is by taxi or ride-share; the airport is only about 10 km (6.2 miles) southeast of downtown, so the trip is short. Taxis are available at the arrivals area, and car rental services are also located inside the terminal, which is useful if you plan to explore the broader Reynosa–McAllen area. There is no dedicated mass transit like a metro or light rail from the airport, so taxis and rental cars are the most-used options for travelers. Ride-share availability can be spotty in Reynosa compared to larger Mexican cities, so pre-arranging a taxi or renting a car is often the most reliable choice.",

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Benito Juárez Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Mexico City, the Metrobús Line 4 \"Quetzalcóatl\" route is the most agile and accessible option, connecting from Amajac station near Paseo de la Reforma through the Historic Center to both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 for 30 pesos. Taxis and ride-sharing services are also widely available and offer door-to-door convenience at a higher relative cost, while private cars are discouraged during airport remodeling because parking capacity is temporarily reduced. The Mexico City Metro is an inexpensive alternative but does not directly serve the airport, requiring a transfer to the airport bus or Metrobús.",
