        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from New York City to Zürich?",
        "answer": "The flight from New York City to Zürich is about 3,920 miles and typically takes 7 hours 50 minutes nonstop. The return leg is longer at 9 hours 15 minutes, a difference of about an hour and 25 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.",

Trams (lines 10 and 12) and 16 bus lines also serve the airport and surrounding areas, typically every 7.5 to 15 minutes. Official Airport Taxis are available at Arrivals 1 and 2 for around CHF 65 to the city center, offering privacy, Wi-Fi, and credit card payment; limousine service is also available. Rental cars can be arranged through SBB partners Mobility and Enterprise Go at various stations, and bike rental is available throughout Switzerland. The train is the most commonly used and recommended option for its speed, frequency, and direct link to the city center.",

        "answer": "From Manhattan, the fastest and most popular way to reach JFK is the AirTrain combined with the subway or Long Island Rail Road: take the E, J, or Z subway to Jamaica/Sutphin Blvd or the LIRR to Jamaica, then transfer to the AirTrain, which runs to all terminals. Public buses and shared shuttle vans also serve the airport, while ride-share apps and yellow taxis offer door-to-door service at a higher cost. Driving yourself is possible via the JFK Expressway or Van Wyck Expressway, with on-airport parking lots and a rental car center connected by AirTrain. Public transit is the cheapest and most reliable during peak hours, while taxis and ride-shares are pricier but convenient with luggage.",

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.",
