        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Atlanta to Liberia?",
        "answer": "The typical nonstop flight from Atlanta to Liberia, Costa Rica, is about 3 hours and 56 minutes, covering a distance of about 1,590 miles. The return flight back to Atlanta is slightly longer at about 4 hours and 2 minutes, a small difference that reflects typical wind patterns.",
        "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.",

        "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.",

        "answer": "Ground transportation from Liberia's Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport to the city center is primarily by taxi, with several authorized taxi services operating just outside the terminal; ride-share services like Uber are not officially available at the airport, and public buses are limited and infrequent. Car rentals are a popular option for travelers continuing to Guanacaste's beaches, with major international agencies located at the airport, and the drive to Liberia city center takes about 15–20 minutes. Taxis are the most used and fastest modality for reaching the city itself, while rental cars are best for onward travel to the coast.",

Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft have designated pickup areas, while taxis operate on a flat-rate structure to the business district. Driving is straightforward via I-75/I-85, with on-airport parking decks and off-airport lots connected by shuttle. Regional shuttle buses and hotel shuttles also serve the airport for those staying nearby or coming from outside metro Atlanta.",
