The return is slightly shorter at 1 hour 30 minutes, a difference of only five minutes. Multiple airlines serve the route nonstop, with total journey times around an hour and a half.", "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).

Ride-hailing apps like Grab and Gojek also operate, offering car and motorcycle options, and are widely used by locals. There is no mass transit rail link, and public buses are limited and infrequent, making them a less reliable choice. Car rentals are available at the airport but are less popular for simple city transfers.
