        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Chicago to Monterrey?",
        "answer": "The flight from Chicago to Monterrey is about 1,320 miles. Nonstop flights typically take around 3 hours and 25 minutes outbound, with the return leg taking about 3 hours and 20 minutes — a minor difference, so you can expect roughly the same duration in both 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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Monterrey?",
        "answer": "From Monterrey International Airport, the most-used option is the taxi, with dedicated taxi stands in each terminal offering reliable but relatively expensive service to the city center, about 23 km away. Ride-sharing services like Uber and DiDi are widely available and generally cheaper than taxis, though pickup points may be slightly less convenient. Car rentals are available at counters in Terminals B and C, with major international and local agencies, and the airport is well connected by highways. A new Metro Line 6 extension to the airport is under construction and expected to improve public transit access, but it is not yet operational. Among current options, taxis are the most commonly used by arriving passengers.",

        "answer": "No nonstop red‑eyes operate from Chicago to Monterrey.

        "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.",

United flights depart around 9:00 AM daily, while Viva Aerobus offers late-night departures several days a week. Specific median fares aren't published for these carriers on this route, but other airlines may also serve it via connections.",

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.

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Dupage County from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Chicago, the CTA Blue Line 'L' train runs directly to O'Hare and is the fastest and most economical public transit option, taking about 40 minutes from the Loop. Taxis, limos, and ride-share services are also readily available curbside at the terminals, while Metra's North Central Service offers weekday commuter rail connections via the O'Hare Transfer Station. Driving takes roughly 30–45 minutes via the Kennedy Expressway (I-90/I-94), with hourly and daily parking in the Main Garage and cheaper economy lots for longer stays.",
