        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Cancún to San Antonio?",
        "answer": "The flight from Cancún to San Antonio is about 930 miles. Nonstop service is available on Southwest and Sun Country Airlines, with a typical flight time of 2 hours and 43 minutes. The return leg is slightly shorter at about 2 hours and 31 minutes, a difference of around 12 minutes.",
        "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 San Antonio?",
        "answer": "There are non‑stop flights from Cancún to San Antonio. Southwest flies daily with up to five departures, while Sun Country operates on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays with two afternoon departures. Together they offer 17 weekly non‑stop flights, and the typical flight time is about 2 hours 43 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. 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. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price. 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.",

Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, along with taxis, are the most-used and fastest options, typically taking 15–20 minutes. VIA Metropolitan Transit's Route 5 bus provides a low-cost public transit alternative, and a consolidated rental car center houses 14 brands for those who prefer to drive.

        "question": "How do I get to Cancún Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Cancún, the ADO public bus is the most economical way to reach Cancún International Airport, though it only stops at the central bus terminal rather than your final destination. Taxis are readily available but tend to be the most expensive option, while pre-booked private shuttles or vans offer a popular, door-to-door alternative that is often cheaper than a taxi and avoids queues. Ride-share services like Uber are not an option in Cancún. Driving yourself is possible with rental cars available at the airport, but parking and navigation are less common for visitors compared to using the shuttle or bus services.",
