        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Jakarta to Semarang?",
        "answer": "The flight from Jakarta to Semarang is about 260 miles and typically takes 1 hour and 10 minutes. Return flights also take about 1 hour and 10 minutes, so there is no meaningful difference between directions.",
        "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.",

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Jakarta to Semarang?",
        "answer": "Yes, three airlines fly nonstop from Jakarta (CGK) to Semarang (SRG): Garuda Indonesia (GA), Batik Air (ID), and Citilink (QG). All three operate daily, with a combined total of 106 weekly flights — Garuda runs 43, Batik Air 42, and Citilink 21. The flight takes about 70 to 75 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. Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes — flagging services that depart late at night and arrive the following morning; for connecting itineraries the red-eye is based on the timing of the overnight long-haul leg.",

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Soekarno-Hatta Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "The fastest and most popular way to reach Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) from central Jakarta is the Airport Rail Link, which departs from several city stations and bypasses road congestion. For a direct door-to-door option, taxis and ride-share services like Grab and Gojek are widely available but can be significantly slower during peak traffic. Public buses, including DAMRI airport shuttles, serve various points in the city at a lower cost. Driving and parking are possible but not recommended due to heavy congestion and limited long-term parking.",
