        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Municipality of Daraga to Manila?",
        "answer": "The flight from Municipality of Daraga to Manila covers about 200 miles. Nonstop flights take around 1 hour 20 minutes, while the return leg is slightly shorter at about 1 hour 10 minutes.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "Yes, Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific both fly non‑stop from Daraga (DRP) to Manila (MNL), with daily service on both carriers. Philippine Airlines operates up to nine flights a day and Cebu Pacific up to six, so together there are roughly 99 non‑stop flights per week. The flight takes about 65–80 minutes.",

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.

        "question": "Are there hotels or sleeping facilities at Manila airport?",
        "answer": "Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport does not have on-site hotels, capsule hotels, or sleeping pods inside any of its four terminals. Terminal 3 offers a guarded sleeping area before security and quieter corners where overnight travelers are generally tolerated, though seating is limited. Several nearby hotels are accessible via shuttle or taxi, and first-class lounges with showers are available for a fee.",
