        "answer": "The flight from Miyazaki to Fukuoka is about 130 miles and typically takes 50 minutes nonstop. The return flight is slightly shorter at about 45 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": "Fukuoka Airport is directly connected to the city center by the Fukuoka City Subway Airport Line, which reaches Hakata Station in about 6 minutes and Tenjin in roughly 11 minutes — this is by far the most popular and efficient option. Taxis are readily available but cost around ¥1,500–¥2,000 to Hakata, while ride‑share services are limited due to Japanese regulations. Car rentals are present at the airport, though driving and parking in central Fukuoka can be inconvenient. Local buses also serve the airport, but they are slower and less frequent than the subway.",

        "question": "How do I get to Miyazaki Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Miyazaki, the JR Miyazaki Kūkō Line train is the fastest and most popular way to reach the airport, taking about 10 minutes from Miyazaki Station and costing a few hundred yen. Local buses also serve the airport from the city center at a slightly lower cost but with a longer travel time. Taxis are readily available and convenient, though more expensive than public transport. Driving is another option with parking at the airport, but it's generally the least cost-effective for short trips.",
