        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from New York City to Nairobi?",
        "answer": "The flight from New York JFK to Nairobi is about 7,360 miles. Nonstop service on Kenya Airways takes around 13 hours 30 minutes outbound, with the return leg longer at about 15 hours, owing to prevailing winds.",
        "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": "Are there any direct flights from New York City to Nairobi?",
        "answer": "Kenya Airways flies nonstop from JFK to Nairobi daily, departing at 13:45. The flight takes about 13 hours and 30 minutes eastbound; the return is longer at roughly 15 hours due to prevailing winds.",
        "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 Nairobi?",
        "answer": "Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is about 18 kilometres (11 miles) southeast of Nairobi city centre, and the main road link is Airport South Road, which connects to the city. Taxis and ride-hailing services are readily available at the airport, and most travellers use them for the roughly 30–45 minute drive into town, though traffic can add time. There is no direct rail link, and while public buses and matatus run along nearby routes, they are less convenient with luggage and are not the primary choice for arriving visitors. Car rental desks are present at the airport for those who prefer to drive themselves. The taxi or ride-share is both the fastest and the most-used option for getting from the airport to central Nairobi.",

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to John F Kennedy Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "The AirTrain JFK is the backbone of public transit to the airport, connecting at Jamaica or Howard Beach to the NYC subway and Long Island Rail Road, with the AirTrain fare separate from the subway or LIRR ticket. Public transportation via subway or LIRR plus AirTrain is generally the most popular and often fastest option from Manhattan, while ride-share services and taxis offer door-to-door convenience at a higher cost. Driving and parking are available but typically the most expensive and can be slow during peak traffic, with shuttle buses and hotel shuttles providing additional lower-cost alternatives for nearby areas.",
