        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Canberra to Brisbane?",
        "answer": "The flight from Canberra to Brisbane is about 590 miles and typically takes 1 hour 40 minutes nonstop. On the return from Brisbane to Canberra, the flight time is slightly longer at 1 hour 50 minutes due to prevailing winds. Qantas, Virgin Australia, and Jetstar all operate daily nonstop service on this route.",
        "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.",

      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Canberra to Brisbane?",
        "answer": "Yes, three airlines fly non‑stop from Canberra to Brisbane: Qantas (QF), Virgin Australia (VA), and Jetstar (JQ). All three operate daily, with Qantas offering the most frequencies — up to 97 weekly departures, Virgin Australia around 60, and Jetstar about 21. Typical flight time is about 1 hour 40 minutes.",
        "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 Brisbane?",
        "answer": "Brisbane Airport offers several ground transportation options to the city center, including the privately-operated Airtrain, taxis, ride-share services, and rental cars. The Airtrain is the fastest and most efficient option, taking about 22 minutes to reach Central Station in the CBD, though it is not subsidized and costs $19.80 one way. Taxis and ride-shares provide door-to-door convenience but are subject to traffic and can be more expensive, while car rentals offer flexibility for exploring beyond the city. Public buses also serve the airport but are less direct than the train. The Airtrain is the most-used rail option, carrying close to two million passengers annually, though taxis and ride-shares collectively handle a larger share of airport trips.",

Taxis are also readily available from a covered rank at the terminal, with an approximate fare of $25–$27 to the city during standard hours, and rideshare services operate from a designated ground-level pick-up area. Driving is straightforward, with on-airport parking available and a free 10-minute pick-up/drop-off zone, while shuttle services are limited to specialist operators like Snowy Mountain Shuttles for regional destinations rather than regular city transfers.",
