        "answer": "The flight from Bangkok to Ubon Ratchathani is about 300 miles and typically takes 1 hour 10 minutes nonstop. In the return direction, it’s about 5 minutes longer at 1 hour 15 minutes.",
        "methodology": "Flight times and distances 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). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.",

        "answer": "Thai Airways and Thai VietJet Air both fly nonstop from Bangkok to Ubon Ratchathani, with flights operating daily on each carrier. Thai Airways departs four times a day (around 7:00 AM and 4:00 PM), while Thai VietJet also runs four daily departures (around 11:00 AM and 2:40 PM). The flight takes about 70 minutes.",
        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled 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 median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. 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.",

Metered taxis and car rental services are available, though taxis are the most commonly used option for the short 3–4 kilometer ride into the city center. There is no rail or mass transit link at the airport, and ride-sharing apps have limited presence. Negotiate the fare before starting your journey if the taxi driver does not use the meter.",

Public buses (routes S1, 554, 558) and the free airport shuttle from Don Mueang are cheaper but slower alternatives.
