        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from New York City to San José del Cabo?",
        "answer": "The flight from New York JFK to San José del Cabo is about 2,410 miles and typically takes 6 hours 18 minutes. The return leg is shorter at 5 hours 23 minutes, a difference of 55 minutes due to prevailing winds.",
        "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.",

Taxis are regulated with zone-based fares and are available from both terminals, while shared shuttles are the budget-friendly option, seating up to 10 passengers with a few stops along the way. Private transfers offer door-to-door service with no stops and are a better value for families or groups. Most travelers use authorized taxis or pre-booked shared shuttles, with taxis being the most common for direct trips to the city center.",

        "answer": "Average fares from JFK to San José del Cabo bottom out around $353 in late September, with September and October the cheapest months overall at $364 and $369. The most expensive period is late December, when fares average $495, and December is the priciest month at $468. January and February also offer relatively low fares around $391.",
        "methodology": "Seasonal fares come from Priceline's own air booking-summary archive, analysed in-house and refreshed monthly. For each day of the year we take a representative round-trip fare, a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings, and smooth the series into a seasonal curve; the half-month low and high and the monthly figures quoted here are averages of that curve. Thin and international routes borrow their seasonal shape from the nearest busy routes, with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings.",

JetBlue operates about 50 weekly flights, with departures clustered between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM, and a typical fare around $683. Delta runs a smaller Saturday-only service, three times a week, with departures around 9:00 AM and a median fare near $990.",
        "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.",

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to John F Kennedy Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Manhattan, the fastest and most popular way to reach JFK is by taking the AirTrain, which connects from the subway or Long Island Rail Road at Jamaica or Howard Beach stations, with a one-way AirTrain fare of $8 and the whole trip typically under an hour. Public transportation is also the cheapest option, combining a $2.90 subway ride with the AirTrain, while ride-share services like Uber and Lyft offer door-to-door convenience at a significantly higher cost. Taxis provide a flat-rate fare from Manhattan to JFK, and driving yourself is possible but parking at the airport is expensive, making public transit the best value for most travelers.",

        "answer": "On flights from New York City to San José del Cabo, JetBlue primarily operates the route with Airbus A320 family aircraft. Delta also flies this route using the Airbus A321neo.",
        "methodology": "Aircraft types 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). 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.",

        "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. 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.",
