        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Lagos to Accra?",
        "answer": "The flight from Lagos to Accra is about 250 miles and typically takes around 1 hour 5 minutes. The return leg is equally quick, also about 1 hour 5 minutes.",
        "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.",

      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Lagos to Accra?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are plenty of nonstop flights from Lagos to Accra. Five airlines fly the route: Air Peace (P4, 15x weekly, daily), United Nigeria Airlines (UN, 7x weekly, daily), Ibom Air (QI, 7x weekly, daily), Air Côte d'Ivoire (HF, 9x weekly on Mon/Wed/Thu/Fri/Sat), and Tarco Aviation (TC, 3x weekly on Mon/Wed/Fri). The flight takes about an hour.",
        "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. 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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Accra?",
        "answer": "From Accra International Airport, taxis and ride-share services are the most direct options for reaching the city center, with taxis being the most commonly used by travelers. Minibuses known as trotros also serve the airport area along Liberation Road, offering a cheaper but slower and less comfortable alternative. Car rentals are available but less popular for short transfers. There is no rail link from the airport to the city center at present.",

Air Peace operates up to 15 flights per week with departures spread throughout the day, Air Côte d'Ivoire flies 9 times weekly on most days except Tuesdays and Sundays, United Nigeria and Ibom Air each run daily services, and Air Tanzania offers 3 flights a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

        "question": "How do I get to Murtala Muhammed Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "There is no direct rail or dedicated airport shuttle from downtown Lagos to Murtala Muhammed International Airport yet; the Red Line's airport branch is still under construction. The most practical options are ride-hailing apps like Uber or Bolt, which are generally the fastest and most popular, or local yellow taxis and private airport taxis, though they cost more than public transport. Public minibuses (danfos) and BRT buses serve the airport area but are slower, crowded, and require navigating multiple connections from the city center. Driving yourself is possible but parking at the airport is limited and traffic on the Airport Road can be very heavy, so it's usually the least convenient choice.",

Most nearby hotels offer airport shuttle service, but there is no on-site or terminal-connected sleeping facility. Sleeping in the airport itself is possible but difficult due to limited, uncomfortable seating and a hard tiled floor.",

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. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.",
