        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Bogotá to Cartagena?",
        "answer": "The flight from Bogotá to Cartagena is about 410 miles, with a typical nonstop flight time of 1 hour and 33 minutes. The return flight takes the same time, so there is no meaningful difference between directions.",
        "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.",

Avianca (AV) leads with 224 weekly flights, LATAM (LA) adds 137, and JetSMART (JA) contributes 76, all running every day of the week. Wingo (P5) also flies daily (24 weekly), while KLM (KL) offers a daily nonstop, and Plus Ultra (PU) and Edelweiss Air (WK) have limited weekly frequencies — PU on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and WK on Wednesday and Sunday.",

        "answer": "Rafael Núñez International Airport is located in the Crespo neighborhood, about a 10-minute drive from downtown Cartagena. Taxis are the most common way to reach the city center and are readily available at the terminal. Ride-share services like Uber and inDrive also operate, though they may have restrictions on airport pickups. Public buses run from the nearby main road and are the cheapest option, but they are slower and less comfortable. Car rentals are available at the airport for travelers who prefer to drive themselves.",

The flight is short — about an hour and a half — so these late departures land the same night, generally before midnight, not the next morning.",

Avianca operates the most flights, up to 224 weekly, followed by LATAM with 137 and JetSMART with 76. Wingo offers 24 weekly flights, while KLM, Plus Ultra, and Edelweiss have just a handful each.

If you do connect, it's typically through Medellín, which is a major hub with efficient domestic transfers. Other possible but less common layovers include Cali or Barranquilla, though these usually add significant travel time."

        "question": "How do I get to El Dorado Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Getting to El Dorado International Airport from downtown Bogotá offers several options: public TransMilenio buses connect to a feeder route that reaches the airport, while ride-share services like Uber and local taxis are widely used and generally the most popular for convenience. There are also shared shuttle vans and private transfer services available from hotels or booking apps, and driving yourself is possible with on-site parking, though traffic can be heavy. The fastest door-to-door option is typically a taxi or ride-share, which costs more than public transit but less than a private car service with parking fees.",
