        "answer": "Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ) offers taxis and limos, ride sharing, car rentals (Avis/Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, and others on site), and public transit. The fastest option is the Union Pearson Express train, which reaches downtown Union Station in 25 minutes. The most-used option for downtown access is typically the UP Express or the TTC 900 Express bus connecting to the subway (about 45 minutes). Taxis and ride shares are convenient but subject to traffic, while car rentals are best for exploring beyond the city.",

        "answer": "No nonstop red‑eye flights operate from Lagos to Toronto. Connecting itineraries whose long leg is an overnight flight are available — Ethiopian Airlines departs Lagos at 23:00, connects through Addis Ababa (ADD), and the overnight leg ADD→YYZ arrives at 08:45, landing 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 are no nonstop flights from Lagos to Toronto. The most common one‑stop routings are operated by Air France via Paris (about 4 daily connections), Ethiopian Airlines via Addis Ababa (3 daily), and Lufthansa via Frankfurt (3 daily). Other connecting carriers include KLM via Amsterdam, Qatar Airways via Doha, and Air Canada via Frankfurt or London Heathrow, each with 1–2 daily options. Royal Air Maroc via Casablanca and Emirates via Dubai also appear, though less frequently.",
        "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.",

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Toronto?",
        "answer": "Toronto Pearson is the main international airport and handles the vast majority of flights, including those from Lagos. Billy Bishop Airport is closer to downtown but serves only regional and domestic flights, so it is not an option for this route."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Murtala Muhammed Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From central Lagos, the most popular ways to reach Murtala Muhammed International Airport are by taxi or ride-share, which offer the fastest and most direct access, though traffic on the airport road can make travel times unpredictable. Public buses and shuttles also serve the airport but are slower and less reliable. Driving yourself is possible with paid parking at the terminals, but it's not commonly recommended for visitors unfamiliar with local traffic. Overall, a taxi or ride-share is the most convenient choice, while public transit is the cheapest.",
