        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Jakarta to Surakarta?",
        "answer": "The typical nonstop flight from Jakarta to Surakarta takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes, covering a distance of about 300 miles. The return flight is the same duration, with no meaningful difference between directions.",
        "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.",

Garuda, Batik Air and Citilink fly daily (multiple times a day), while Lion Air operates just one weekly flight on Fridays. The flight takes about 75 minutes.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Surakarta?",
        "answer": "At Adisumarmo International Airport (SOC), about 14 km north of downtown Surakarta, the most practical ground transportation is a taxi or a ride-hailing car booked through apps like Gojek or Grab, which are widely used and offer fixed, upfront fares. There is no direct rail or dedicated mass transit link from the airport to the city center. Car rentals are not commonly used by visitors for this short transfer, and formal ride-share services are limited. Taxis and app-based cars are the fastest and most-used option, typically taking 25–40 minutes depending on traffic.",
