        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Aruba Island to Orlando?",
        "answer": "The flight from Aruba Island to Orlando is about 1,320 miles and typically takes 3 hours and 25 minutes nonstop. The return leg is faster at 3 hours and 5 minutes, with the eastbound direction being the longer one.",
        "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.",

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.

        "answer": "Orlando International Airport offers several ground transportation options to the city center, including rental cars (with many on-airport and off-airport companies), ride-share services, taxis, and an automated people mover that links the main terminal to the nearby Intermodal Terminal. Brightline inter-city rail currently operates from that intermodal station to Miami, and a future SunRail commuter rail extension to the airport is under consideration, though it is not yet in service. Rental cars and ride-share are the most commonly used and fastest options for most travelers, while rail serves a more limited corridor.",

        "question": "How do I get to Queen Beatrix Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Queen Beatrix International Airport is about 3 km from downtown Oranjestad, so taxis and ride-shares are the fastest and most popular choices, taking roughly 10 minutes. Public Arubus buses run frequently along the main route and are the cheapest option, though they can be slower with stops. Shuttle services are available through many hotels and private operators, and driving yourself is easy with short-term parking right at the terminal, though rental cars add cost.",
