        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Bogotá to Houston?",
        "answer": "The route from Bogotá to Houston is about 2,210 miles. Since no nonstop flights are scheduled, the journey requires a connection and typically takes approximately 6 to 8 hours in total. Specific flight times depend on the layover and routing chosen.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) offers several ground transportation options including taxis, ride-share apps like Uber and Lyft, rental cars, shared shuttles, limousines, and METRO public buses. The new METRO Bus 500 provides nonstop service to downtown Houston for $4.50 one way, running every 30 minutes from 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., making it a fast and affordable choice. Taxis and ride-shares are the most commonly used options for door-to-door convenience, while rental cars give flexibility for exploring beyond the city center. Shuttles and private sedans are also available for hotel transfers or group travel.",

        "answer": "No nonstop red‑eye flights operate from Bogotá to Houston, but connecting itineraries whose long leg is an overnight flight are available. Avianca operates a red‑eye from Bogotá to Mexico City departing at 11:30 PM and arriving at 3:05 AM (early hours), where you connect to United for the onward leg to Houston. Avianca also runs an overnight leg to New York JFK departing at 11:15 PM and arriving at 6:05 AM (next morning), with a JetBlue connection to Houston.",
        "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": "What documents should I bring with me to the airport when flying from Bogotá to Houston?",

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Houston?",
        "answer": "Houston has two major airports. George Bush Intercontinental is the primary international gateway, serving most full‑service airlines and offering the most global connections. William P. Hobby Airport is closer to downtown and focuses on domestic and low‑cost flights, primarily Southwest Airlines."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to El Dorado Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Bogotá, the most popular and fastest way to reach El Dorado International Airport is by taxi or ride-share, which are widely available and take roughly 30–60 minutes depending on traffic. Public TransMilenio feeder buses and the dedicated airport shuttle service offer cheaper alternatives but can be slower and less direct. Driving yourself is possible with on-site parking lots, though traffic congestion makes it the least predictable option.",
