        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Dallas to Dhaka?",
        "answer": "Dallas to Dhaka is about 8,490 miles. Since no nonstop flights are scheduled, the journey always requires at least one connection, and total travel time typically ranges from 22 to 28 hours depending on the layover.",
        "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 Dhaka?",
        "answer": "Getting from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport to central Dhaka is easiest by ride-hailing apps such as Uber, Pathao, Obhai, or Shohoz, which operate freely to and from the airport and are the most-used option for visitors. A prepaid taxi kiosk near the international arrivals exit is also available for fixed-fare rides, and an airport railway station sits directly outside the terminal, though train service is more useful for onward intercity travel than for reaching the city center. There is no dedicated airport metro line or direct mass transit link yet. Because Dhaka has extremely slow traffic, the roughly 17 km (11 mi) journey to downtown can take well over an hour by road; ride-hailing is generally the fastest and most reliable choice, while the railway is the main alternative for budget travelers heading toward Kamalapur or beyond.",

Typical per‑carrier fares are not available in the schedule data for this route, so pricing would need a separate fare search.",

Dubai and Doha offer efficient one-stop connections via Emirates and Qatar Airways, with broad networks and smooth transit. Istanbul provides competitive total travel times with Turkish Airlines, and Hong Kong is a key Asian hub for Cathay Pacific, often keeping journeys under 24 hours. All these hubs allow visa-free transit for eligible passengers."

        "question": "How do I get to Dallas Fort Worth Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Dallas, DART's Orange Line rail runs directly to Terminal A, while from downtown Fort Worth, Trinity Metro's TEXRail reaches Terminal B, and the TRE train connects both cities to the CentrePort/DFW station with a shuttle to the terminals. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, taxis, and private shuttles also serve the airport, with driving and on-site parking available as well. Public rail is typically the most economical option, while ride-share or taxi is faster from the city center, and driving offers convenience at a higher cost for parking.",
