        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Orlando to Nassau?",
        "answer": "The flight from Orlando to Nassau covers about 330 miles. Nonstop flights typically take 1 hour 27 minutes eastbound, with the return leg taking about 1 hour 30 minutes. JetBlue, Southwest, and Bahamasair all offer daily nonstop service on this route.",
        "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 Orlando to Nassau?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are three airlines flying non‑stop from Orlando to Nassau: JetBlue, Southwest, and Bahamasair, each operating daily. Together they offer about 99 weekly flights, with departures spread from early morning through evening and a typical flight time of roughly 85–90 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.",

        "answer": "The main ground transportation options from Lynden Pindling International Airport to Nassau's city center are taxis, car rentals, airport transfers, and private/chauffeured car service. Taxis are widely available with set zone fares — a ride to Downtown costs $36 for two passengers, while Cable Beach is $29 and Paradise Island is $45 plus a $2 bridge toll. Car rentals and prearranged livery or tour operators are also offered, and hotels like Atlantis and BahaMar have transport desks in Arrivals. Taxis are the most used and fastest option for most travelers, since they wait directly outside all terminals with fixed, predictable pricing.",

      "q11": {
        "question": "What documents should I bring with me to the airport when flying from Orlando to Nassau?",
        "answer": "You need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, proof of onward or return travel, and a Bahamas Travel Health Visa if required. U.S. citizens do not need a visa for tourist stays up to 90 days. Bring a payment method for baggage fees and any required vaccination certificates."

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Nassau?",

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Orlando Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "To reach Orlando International Airport from downtown Orlando, the most popular and fastest option is ride‑share or a taxi, which takes about 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and is the most convenient door‑to‑door choice. Public transportation is limited: Lynx bus routes 11, 42, and 111 serve the airport, but they are slow and require transfers, making them the most budget‑friendly but least practical for most travelers. Shared shuttle vans and hotel shuttles are also available and offer a middle ground on cost, though they make multiple stops and can take longer than a private car. Driving yourself is straightforward via State Road 528 or 417, with on‑site parking garages and economy lots, but parking fees add up for longer trips.",

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.",
