        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Madrid to New York City?",
        "answer": "Flights from Madrid to New York City cover about 3,580 miles and typically take around 8 hours and 25 minutes eastbound. The return leg is noticeably shorter — about 7 hours and 15 minutes — because the prevailing jet stream gives westbound flights a stronger headwind. Nonstop service is operated daily by Delta, American, Iberia, Air Europa, and United, with departures spread from mid-morning to late evening.",
        "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.",

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.

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in New York City?",
        "answer": "At John F. Kennedy International Airport, the fastest and most-used ground transportation to the city center is the AirTrain plus rail combo: the AirTrain connects all terminals to the Jamaica or Howard Beach stations in under 20 minutes for a single-ride fare of $8.75, where you can transfer to the LIRR (about 20 minutes to Penn Station or Grand Central) or the NYC subway. Taxis, ride shares, and rental cars are also available, with JFK partnering with most major rental companies and offering a designated pickup area. The AirTrain is considered the best way to navigate JFK, and public transportation is officially recommended, especially during construction. Mass transit overall is the most-used option, though the LIRR is faster than the subway for reaching Manhattan.",

        "question": "Which airport should I use in New York City?",
        "answer": "John F. Kennedy International is the primary choice for international flights, with extensive global connections and major alliances. Newark Liberty, while in New Jersey, is a strong alternative with good Manhattan access and a major United hub. LaGuardia primarily serves domestic and short-haul routes, making it less suitable for transatlantic arrivals."

Taxis and ride-share services provide door-to-door convenience at a higher cost, while driving is possible with official Aena parking available at all terminals for a fee. Regional and intercity buses from companies like Alsa and Flixbus also connect the airport to wider Madrid, but the express bus and taxi are the most practical for downtown travelers.",

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.",
