        "answer": "From John Paul II International Airport Kraków–Balice, the SKA1 suburban train is the fastest and most-used option to the city center, reaching Kraków Główny main station in about 17–18 minutes with departures every half hour. Public buses also connect the airport to the main railway and bus station, running both day and night. Taxis and private cars are available via road access, and the airport has a multi-level parking lot with a roofed footbridge to the terminal. The train is generally the best choice for speed and reliability.",

        "answer": "There are no nonstop red‑eye flights from Los Angeles to Kraków. One connecting itinerary whose long leg is an overnight red‑eye appears: British Airways departs LAX at 17:05 and lands at London Heathrow at 11:35 (a 10h30m overnight flight), then connects after a 4‑hour layover to a BA flight on to Kraków. The arrival at Heathrow is at 11:35, which is late morning — not the next morning.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "There is no nonstop service from Los Angeles to Kraków; the route is typically flown with one connection. Lufthansa via Frankfurt is the most common, with about 11 daily connections, followed by KLM via Amsterdam with around 5 per day. Lufthansa also offers connections via Munich about 8 times daily, while Austrian via Vienna and British Airways via London Heathrow appear less frequently. Swiss via Zurich also operates a daily connection. Typical per‑carrier fares are not available for this route.",
        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies 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). 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 typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.",

        "answer": "Common layover cities for Los Angeles to Kraków include Frankfurt, Munich, Vienna, and Warsaw. Frankfurt and Munich offer extensive Star Alliance connections and efficient transfers. Vienna provides a compact, easy-to-navigate airport with good onward connectivity to Kraków. Warsaw is a well-connected hub for the region, often yielding competitive total travel times and smooth transfers."

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Kraków?",
        "answer": "Kraków has one main commercial airport, John Paul II International Airport Kraków–Balice, located about 11 km west of the city centre. It serves scheduled, charter, and low‑cost flights and is the only practical choice."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Los Angeles Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Los Angeles, the LAX FlyAway bus offers a direct, nonstop ride to the airport from Union Station, running every 15 minutes during most of the day. Public transit is available via Metro Rail's C and K lines to the LAX/Metro Transit Center, where free shuttle buses connect to the terminals. Taxis and ride-share services like Uber and Lyft pick up and drop off at the airport, though ride-share passengers are directed to the LAX-it lot. Driving and parking are also options, with several on-airport lots including economy parking, but traffic can make this slower than the FlyAway, which is the most popular and often fastest choice.",

For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated.
