        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Amman to Cairo?",
        "answer": "The flight from Amman to Cairo is about 290 miles and typically takes 1 hour 30 minutes outbound, with the return leg taking 1 hour 20 minutes — the return is slightly shorter. Nonstop service is available daily on Royal Jordanian and EgyptAir, with Air Cairo also flying on Wednesdays and Fridays.",
        "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": "What are the ground transportation options in Cairo?",
        "answer": "Cairo International Airport is about 15 km from the city center, and ground transportation options include taxis, ride-hailing apps like Uber and Careem, public buses, the Cairo Airport Shuttle Bus, and car rentals. Ride-hailing apps have become the most-used and generally most reliable option, as traditional white taxis are often criticized for not using meters and overcharging. Public buses are the cheapest but can be crowded and slow due to Cairo's heavy traffic. The metro does not directly serve the airport, though a shuttle bus links to Adly Mansour station on Line 3. Car rental is available but driving in Cairo is stressful for most visitors.",

        "answer": "Queen Alia International Airport is connected to Amman by shuttle buses that run back and forth between the city and the airport, providing the most popular and affordable public option. Taxis and ride-share services offer a faster, door-to-door alternative at a higher cost, while driving yourself is possible via the Desert Highway with parking available at the terminal. The shuttle bus is generally the cheapest choice, but a taxi or ride-share is the quickest way from downtown.",
