        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Beijing?",
        "answer": "Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) is about 32 km northeast of downtown, and the Capital Airport Express subway is the fastest and most-used option: a dedicated rail link that runs from Beixinqiao via Dongzhimen and Sanyuanqiao to Terminals 3 and 2, taking roughly 20–30 minutes and costing ¥25 with no free transfers to other subway lines. The airport also has an express shuttle bus network with about 5–11 city routes, fares generally ¥20–55, which is useful for destinations not near the Airport Express line. Taxis and ride-hailing services are widely available and convenient door-to-door, though travel time and cost depend heavily on traffic. Car rental is possible but rarely recommended for first-time visitors because driving in Beijing requires a Chinese license and the metro/bus network is extensive.",

        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Boston to Beijing?",
        "answer": "Overnight (red‑eye) flights from Boston to Beijing are available as connecting itineraries whose long leg is a red‑eye. On a representative day, United offers a routing via Los Angeles where the LAX→PEK leg departs at 23:35 and arrives at 04:40, landing in the early hours (before morning).",
        "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.",

Other connecting carriers are Japan Airlines via Tokyo, Air China via London, Etihad via Abu Dhabi, and Emirates via Dubai. No per-carrier fares are available for these connecting itineraries.",
        "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": "What documents should I bring with me to the airport when flying from Boston to Beijing?",
        "answer": "Bring a passport valid for at least six months beyond your stay and a Chinese visa already obtained, as visa on arrival is not available for U.S. citizens.

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Beijing?",
        "answer": "The city has two main airports. Beijing Capital is the older hub and is closer to the city centre, served by most international carriers including Air China. Beijing Daxing is a newer, larger airport further south, acting as a hub for China Southern and China Eastern, with modern facilities and growing international routes."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Logan Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Boston, the MBTA Silver Line 1 (SL1) bus runs directly from South Station to all Logan terminals and is free from the airport, making it the most affordable and often fastest option. The Blue Line subway connects to Airport Station with a free shuttle to terminals, while taxis, Uber/Lyft, and Logan Express buses offer more direct but pricier alternatives. Driving and parking are available with Central, Economy, and Terminal garages, plus $25–$29 advance reservation rates. Ride-hailing and taxis are the most popular for convenience, while the Silver Line is best for budget travelers.",
