        "answer": "The flight from Da Lat to Vinh is about 515 miles and typically takes 1 hour 40 minutes nonstop. The return leg is around 1 hour 35 minutes, a small difference that reflects prevailing winds.",
        "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.",

There is no direct mass transit link, but public buses (route 11) connect the airport to downtown, though they are less frequent and slower. Taxis and Grab are the fastest and most popular choices, with fares typically around 100,000–150,000 VND. Car rentals are not common for self-drive, but you can hire a private car with a driver through local agencies or hotels.",

        "question": "How do I get to Lien Khuong Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Lien Khuong Airport is about 30 km south of Da Lat city center. The most popular and fastest option is a taxi or ride‑share (Grab), taking roughly 40–50 minutes; it’s relatively affordable by Western standards but pricier than public transport. Shuttle buses run from central Da Lat to the airport and are the cheapest choice, though slower and less frequent. Driving yourself is possible with parking at the terminal, but most visitors opt for a taxi or Grab for convenience.",
