        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Lima?",
        "answer": "Ground transportation from Lima's Jorge Chávez International Airport to the city center is limited to taxis and private transfer services, as there is no direct highway, metro, or public bus connection to the new terminal. Taxis are the most commonly used option and are generally safe when booked through authorized counters or ride-hailing apps, while car rentals are available but navigating Lima's congested traffic can be challenging for visitors. The fastest option is a pre-arranged private transfer or taxi, taking about 30-45 minutes to Miraflores or the historic center depending on traffic. Ride-share services like Uber and Cabify operate in Lima and offer a convenient alternative with upfront pricing. Public transit options like the Metropolitano BRT or Lima Metro do not serve the airport directly, requiring a taxi or shuttle to reach a station first.",

        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Austin to Lima?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop red-eyes from Austin to Lima, but connecting itineraries whose long leg is an overnight flight are available. One option connects via Miami, where the overnight MIA→LIM leg on American Airlines departs at 11:30 PM and arrives at 4:10 AM — that's an early-hours arrival, not the next morning. Another connects via Atlanta, with the overnight ATL→LIM leg on LATAM departing at 11:15 PM and arriving at 5:00 AM, also an early-hours arrival.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "No airline operates nonstop from Austin to Lima; the route is served entirely by one-stop connections. American Airlines via Miami is the most common routing with 12 daily connections, followed by United via Houston with 8, Copa Airlines via Panama City with 6, and Delta via Atlanta with 1. Delta also places passengers on LATAM for the Atlanta–Lima leg in one pattern.",
        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies 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). 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 typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.",

        "question": "If I need a connection, what are common layover cities between Austin and Lima?",
        "answer": "Common layovers include Houston, Miami, Panama City and Mexico City. Houston and Miami offer broad connections via major hubs with efficient transfers. Panama City and Mexico City provide central locations and, for many travelers, visa-free transit, keeping total travel times competitive."

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Bergstrom Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Austin, the most popular and often fastest way to reach Austin–Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) is by ride-share or taxi, which drop off directly at the departures curb; taxis are typically more expensive than ride-share. Public transit via CapMetro's high-frequency Route 20 bus is the most affordable option, though slower than driving. Driving yourself is convenient with several on-airport parking garages and lots, but parking costs add up, especially for longer trips. Shuttle services and private car/limo companies are also available for a premium, pre-arranged ride.",

Travelers should contact their airline at least 48 hours before the flight to arrange wheelchair or escort assistance, and TSA Cares can be booked 72 hours in advance for security screening support. Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima does not publicize specific accessibility programs or children's play areas, so travelers should arrange mobility assistance through their airline at least 48 hours before departure.",

LATAM uses a Boeing 767-300 on the long leg via Atlanta or Miami, American uses an Airbus A321-200 Neo via Miami, United uses a Boeing 757-200 via Houston, and Delta uses a Boeing 767-300 or Airbus A330-300 via Atlanta.",

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.",

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.
