        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Bangkok to Krabi?",
        "answer": "The flight from Bangkok's Don Mueang Airport to Krabi covers about 420 miles and typically takes 1 hour 25 minutes nonstop. The return flight is also about 1 hour 25 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.",

        "answer": "Thai AirAsia, Thai Lion Air, and Nok Air all fly nonstop from Bangkok Don Mueang to Krabi every day, with a combined 171 weekly flights. The flight takes about 1 hour 25 minutes, with Thai AirAsia offering the most frequencies — up to 17 departures a day. Aircraft used include Boeing 737-800s and Airbus A320 family jets.",
        "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. Aircraft types are taken from the equipment each operating carrier schedules on this route, drawn from published airline timetables and airline equipment schedules in our flight-schedule database. They describe typical scheduled aircraft and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute equipment swaps. 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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Krabi?",
        "answer": "Krabi Airport (KBV) is about 7 km east of downtown Krabi, with taxis and shared minivans as the primary ground transport options. Metered taxis are available at the terminal and offer a direct ride to the city center in roughly 15–20 minutes, though it's wise to confirm the fare beforehand. Shared minivans are the most commonly used option, providing a cheaper door-to-door or hotel drop-off service. Ride-share apps like Grab also operate in the area, offering a convenient alternative with upfront pricing. Car rentals are available at the airport but are generally less popular for just getting into town.",

Public buses like No. 29 and the A1/A2 airport shuttle connect to BTS Mo Chit and other points for under 25 THB, though they can be slow in traffic. Ride‑share apps such as Grab operate as an alternative to taxis. Driving yourself is possible via the Don Mueang Tollway, with parking available at the terminal, but traffic can be heavy.",
