        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Liberia to Atlanta?",
        "answer": "The nonstop flight from Liberia, Costa Rica to Atlanta covers about 1,594 miles and typically takes 4 hours and 2 minutes. The return leg is slightly shorter at 3 hours and 56 minutes, a difference too small to mention in most contexts. Delta operates daily service on this route.",
        "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 Liberia to Atlanta?",
        "answer": "Yes, Delta flies nonstop from Liberia (LIR) to Atlanta (ATL) daily, with up to 55 weekly departures. Flights typically leave between late morning and mid-afternoon, and the flight takes about 4 hours.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport offers several ground transportation options to the city center: MARTA rail (Red and Gold lines) runs directly from the airport station to downtown in about 20 minutes and is the most-used and fastest public transit option, with service starting around 4:30 AM. Taxis, authorized rideshare companies (only two are permitted for pickup), and rental cars via the ATL SkyTrain to the consolidated Rental Car Center are also available, along with regional shuttles, limousines, and hotel shuttles. The MARTA train is generally the most convenient and popular choice for reaching downtown Atlanta, while taxis and rideshares offer door-to-door service but are subject to traffic. Rental cars are useful for exploring beyond the city, and the SkyTrain connects the terminal to the rental car center in minutes.",

Driving yourself is possible, with parking available at the terminal, and the airport is just 8 miles (13 km) west of the city along the road to Nicoya. Taxis or a pre-arranged shuttle are generally recommended for convenience, while the public bus is the budget choice.",

        "question": "Which airline alliances serve flights from Liberia to Atlanta?",
        "answer": "Only Delta operates nonstop flights from Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR) to Atlanta (ATL), and Delta is a member of the SkyTeam alliance. Other alliances may serve the route via connections, but Delta is the sole carrier with nonstop service.",
        "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.",
