        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Atlanta to Dhaka?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop flights from Atlanta to Dhaka. The shortest one-stop connections are on Qatar Airways via Doha, with a total travel time of about 21 hours and 20 minutes, or Turkish Airlines via Istanbul, taking roughly 22 hours and 40 minutes. Both options involve a long-haul leg of around 13–14 hours and a layover of about 2.5–3 hours.",
        "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. Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes — flagging services that depart late at night and arrive the following morning; for connecting itineraries the red-eye is based on the timing of the overnight long-haul leg.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Dhaka?",
        "answer": "From Shahjalal International Airport, the fastest and most reliable option to reach central Dhaka is a prepaid taxi from the kiosk near international arrivals, while ride-sharing apps like Uber, Pathao, and Obhai are widely used and often cheaper. A railway station sits directly outside the airport, offering trains into the city, though schedules can be infrequent. There is no metro connection from the airport itself, and car rentals are available but not commonly used by visitors. Overall, taxis and ride-shares dominate airport transfers, with rickshaws only practical for short local trips once in the city.",

        "answer": "From downtown Atlanta, the MARTA Red and Gold rail lines run directly to Hartsfield-Jackson's Airport station, which is the fastest and most popular option given its dedicated right-of-way and low cost. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, along with taxis, offer door-to-door convenience at a higher price, while many nearby hotels provide free shuttle buses and regional shuttles serve outlying areas. Driving to the airport is straightforward via Interstates 20, 75, 85, or 285, with on-site parking decks and off-airport lots available, though parking fees add to the trip cost.",
