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.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Tampa?", "answer": "Tampa International Airport offers several ground transportation options for getting to the city center, including public transit via Hillsborough Area Regional Transit routes 30, 32, and 10, shuttle services like Tampa Airport Elite Shuttle, and limousine companies such as Stagecoach Transportation and Tampa Transportation Group. The airport also has a rental car center connected by the SkyConnect people mover, and its layout is designed for efficient access to downtown Tampa. Ride share services are commonly used by travelers, though the most frequently used option for direct downtown access tends to be ride share or taxi due to convenience.
