        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Cancún to Mexico City?",
        "answer": "The flight from Cancún to Mexico City is about 790 miles and typically takes around 2 hours and 16 minutes. The return leg is similar, also about 2 hours and 16 minutes, with no meaningful difference between directions.",
        "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": "Are there any direct flights from Cancún to Mexico City?",
        "answer": "Yes, three airlines fly nonstop from Cancún to Mexico City (NLU): Viva Aerobus (VB), Aeroméxico (AM), and Volaris (Y4), all operating daily. Viva Aerobus runs the most frequencies — up to 10 departures a day spread from early morning to a late-evening red-eye at 9:45 PM — while Aeroméxico and Volaris each offer one daily flight at 10:30 AM and 2:59 PM, respectively. The flight takes roughly 2 hours 15 minutes.",
        "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. 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. Aircraft types are taken from the equipment each operating carrier schedules on this route, drawn from published airline timetables and airline equipment schedules in our flight-schedule database. They describe typical scheduled aircraft and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute equipment swaps.",

Taxis and ride-sharing services are also available at the terminal, and car rental counters serve travelers who prefer to drive.

Felipe Ángeles International Airport is farther north, about 40 kilometres from downtown, and used by some low‑cost and cargo airlines.

        "question": "How do I get to Cancún Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Cancún, the main options to reach Cancún International Airport are pre-booked private transfers or shuttles, taxis, and the ADO public bus, while ride-share services like Uber are not available. Private transfers are the most popular and fastest, taking about 30 minutes to the airport, and they are usually cheaper than airport taxis, though taxis are the most direct on-demand choice. The ADO bus is the least expensive but only goes to the central bus terminal, not directly to the airport; driving yourself is possible with car rentals, but parking can be limited and adds cost.",
