        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Boston to Columbus?",
        "answer": "The flight from Boston to Columbus covers about 640 miles and typically takes 2 hours 18 minutes nonstop. The return trip averages 2 hours 2 minutes, slightly faster in that direction, though the difference is under twenty minutes. Connecting itineraries generally run from around 3.5 to 5.5 hours total.",
        "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": "From John Glenn Columbus International Airport, the most common way into downtown Columbus is by car, with a six-story parking garage and satellite lots (Blue $9, Red $7, Green $5 per day) plus a dedicated car rental facility opened in 2021. Public transit is available via COTA's Route 7 Mt. Vernon bus, which runs between downtown and the airport, though every other bus serves Easton Transit Center instead, so frequency is limited. Taxis also operate from the terminal, and GoBus provides a thrice-daily intercity connection to Athens via Lancaster and Logan. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are not explicitly mentioned in the available airport information, but they are commonly used at this airport.",

        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Boston to Columbus?",
        "answer": "Average fares from Boston to Columbus bottom out around $261 in late January, making that the cheapest stretch to fly. The cheapest months overall are January at $270, February at $284, and September at $291, while the most expensive period is late December at an average of $352.",
        "methodology": "Seasonal fares come from Priceline's own air booking-summary archive, analysed in-house and refreshed monthly. For each day of the year we take a representative round-trip fare, a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings, and smooth the series into a seasonal curve; the half-month low and high and the monthly figures quoted here are averages of that curve. Thin and international routes borrow their seasonal shape from the nearest busy routes, with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings.",

      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Boston to Columbus?",
        "answer": "For flights from Boston to Columbus, the best fares are typically found when booking 5 to 25 days before departure, with an average price of about $255 in that window. Booking around 15 days out tends to yield the lowest fares at roughly $254, while booking far in advance (e.g., 180 days out) can cost significantly more, around $360. For summer and holiday travel, demand spikes mean you should book earlier than the usual window to avoid higher last-minute prices.",
        "methodology": "Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. We aggregate the route's bookings by how many days before departure they were made, from about 180 days out to the day of travel, smooth the curve, and highlight the stretch of lead times with the lowest average fare. Thin and international routes borrow the curve shape from the nearest busy routes, anchored to the route's own price level. It reflects current fares and is refreshed monthly.",

        "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.",

        "answer": "American Airlines and Delta fly nonstop from Boston to Columbus. Together they offer up to 110 weekly flights, with Delta operating 92 of them (primarily via its regional partner Republic) and American adding 18 more (mostly via Envoy). The schedule includes a wide spread of departures from early morning through evening, with service every day of the week.",
        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies 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). 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 typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.",

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Logan Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Boston, the fastest and most popular option is the MBTA Silver Line 1 (SL1) bus, which is free from Logan to South Station and connects directly to all terminals; the Blue Line subway plus a free shuttle is another economical choice. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, taxis, and limos offer door-to-door convenience at a higher cost, while Logan Express buses serve Back Bay, Braintree, Framingham, Peabody, and Woburn for a comfortable suburban connection. For driving, Logan has Central Parking (closest to terminals), Economy Parking with free shuttles, and advance reservations around $25–29 per day. Water ferries and water taxis from Long Wharf or the Seaport are scenic but less direct, requiring a free on-airport shuttle from the dock.",
