        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Boston to Calgary?",
        "answer": "WestJet flies nonstop from Boston to Calgary with 16 weekly flights, operating daily with departures at 7:00 AM, 4:45 PM, and 6:25 PM. The flight takes about 5 hours and 25 minutes westbound, and around 4 hours 50 minutes on the return. WestJet is the only carrier offering nonstop service on this route.",
        "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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Calgary?",
        "answer": "Getting from Calgary International Airport (YYC) to downtown offers several solid options: taxis, ride-share (Uber and Lyft are the only authorized operators), public transit via Calgary Transit buses, and rental cars from over a dozen companies. The fastest and most direct is a taxi, which typically costs $40–45 to downtown, while the most-used and most affordable for many travelers is the Route 300 rapid transit bus to the city center. Ride-share is a popular middle ground with a $5.10 pickup fee, and rental cars are best if you plan to explore beyond the city.",

        "answer": "Average fares from Boston to Calgary bottom out around $300 in late September, the cheapest stretch of the year on this route. September ($308) and October ($310) are the cheapest months overall, with January close behind at $326, while the most expensive period is late December at $385, driven by July ($375) and December ($369) as the priciest months.",
        "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.",

The Blue Line subway also connects to the airport via a free shuttle from Airport Station. Ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft, as well as taxis, offer door-to-door convenience at a higher cost, while driving yourself is possible with on-site parking options including Central, Economy, and Terminal garages. Logan Express buses serve Back Bay and other areas, and water taxis or ferries provide a scenic alternative from the harbor.",
