        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Austin to San José del Cabo?",
        "answer": "Austin to San José del Cabo is about 888 miles and takes roughly 2 hours 40 minutes nonstop, with the return leg around 2 hours 30 minutes — a small difference driven by prevailing winds, making the northbound flight slightly shorter. Delta, American, and Southwest all operate the route daily or nearly daily.",
        "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 Austin to San José del Cabo?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct non‑stop flights from Austin to San José del Cabo. American Airlines and Delta both operate daily service, while Southwest flies the route five days a week — Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Together the three carriers offer up to 53 non‑stop flights a week, with most departures in the early morning and a few late‑morning options on Southwest.",
        "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": "From Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), ground transportation to San José del Cabo includes authorized taxis with regulated zone-based fares, shared shuttle vans that seat up to 10 passengers and are the budget-friendly option, private pre-booked transfers, ride share, rental cars with on-site counters, and public buses with scheduled routes. Taxis are widely used and provide direct service, while shared shuttles offer the best balance of savings and convenience, and private transfers are the fastest door-to-door option. Most travelers use authorized taxis or pre-booked shuttles, with shared shuttles being the most common budget choice.",

        "methodology": "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": "How do I get to Bergstrom Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Austin, the most popular and fastest way to reach Bergstrom International Airport is by ride-share (Uber/Lyft) or taxi, which take about 15–20 minutes in light traffic and cost moderately more than public transit. CapMetro's high-frequency Route 20 bus provides the cheapest public transportation option, running from downtown to the airport for a low fare, though it takes longer with stops. Shared shuttle vans and private limo/car services are also available and fall between transit and ride-share in cost and convenience. Driving yourself is possible with on-airport parking garages and lots, but parking fees add up for longer trips and are generally the most expensive option when fees are included.",

        "question": "What aircraft are typically used on flights from Austin to San José del Cabo?",
        "answer": "American Airlines operates the Austin to San José del Cabo route most frequently, using Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Delta Air Lines flies Embraer E175 regional jets, while Southwest Airlines uses Boeing 757 family aircraft on select days.",
        "methodology": "Aircraft types 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). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. 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.",

        "question": "Which airline alliances serve flights from Austin to San José del Cabo?",
        "answer": "The nonstop carriers are American Airlines (oneworld), Delta Air Lines (SkyTeam), and Southwest Airlines (no alliance). American also offers one-stop connections via Dallas/Fort Worth, while other one-stop options include United Airlines (Star Alliance) via Houston, Aeromexico (SkyTeam) via Mexico City, and Alaska Airlines (oneworld) via Phoenix. So all three major alliances are present, with Southwest as the notable unaligned carrier.",
        "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. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price.",
