        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Municipality of Daraga to Cebu?",
        "answer": "The flight from Municipality of Daraga to Cebu is about 195 miles. Nonstop service on Cebgo takes about 1 hour 20 minutes eastbound and 1 hour 15 minutes westbound.",
        "methodology": "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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Cebu?",
        "answer": "From Mactan-Cebu International Airport, the fastest way to Cebu City center is by taxi or ride-hailing app like Grab, which take about 30–45 minutes depending on traffic. There is no direct mass transit from the airport, but public buses and jeepneys are available from nearby terminals for a lower cost, though they are slower and less comfortable. Jeepneys are the most popular and widely used mode of public transport in the city, but they are not ideal for airport transfers with luggage. The partially operational Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) is improving bus services, but it does not yet directly serve the airport. Most visitors opt for taxis or Grab for a balance of convenience and cost.",

Taxis and ride‑share services are very limited in the area; alternatively, you can arrange a private car or hotel shuttle, and there is parking at the airport if you drive yourself. Public jeepneys or buses do not serve the airport directly, so a tricycle or private vehicle is essentially the only practical choice.",
