        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Denpasar to Surabaya?",
        "answer": "The flight from Denpasar to Surabaya is about 190 miles and typically takes 1 hour nonstop. Multiple airlines serve the route daily, with scheduled block times ranging from 60 to 75 minutes depending on the carrier.",
        "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 Denpasar to Surabaya?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct flights from Denpasar to Surabaya. Five airlines — Citilink (QG), Lion Air (JT), Batik Air (ID), Super Air Jet (IU), and Garuda Indonesia (GA) — operate non‑stop service daily, with a combined total of about 64 weekly flights. The flight takes roughly an hour.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "Juanda International Airport (SUB) is about 12 km from Surabaya city center. Taxis and ride‑hailing services such as Grab are the most common and quickest options, typically taking around 30 minutes depending on traffic. Car rentals are available, but driving yourself is less popular due to congestion. Public buses connect the airport to the city, though they are slower and less convenient. A dedicated airport train link is not currently available, so a taxi or ride‑hail is the most used and fastest way into town.",

        "answer": "From downtown Denpasar, the most popular way to reach Ngurah Rai International Airport is by taxi or ride‑share, which takes about 30 minutes depending on traffic and costs relatively more than public options. There are also public shuttle buses and local bemos that serve the airport, providing a cheaper but slower alternative. Driving yourself is possible with paid parking at the airport, though traffic can be heavy. A planned metro line connecting the airport to the city center is under development but not yet operational.",
