        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Tokyo to Beijing?",
        "answer": "Tokyo (HND) to Beijing (PEK) is about 1,300 miles, with a typical nonstop flight time of 4 hours and 10 minutes. The return leg is faster at about 3 hours and 25 minutes, a difference of 45 minutes due to 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.",

        "answer": "From Beijing Capital Airport (PEK), the Airport Express train is the fastest and most popular way downtown, reaching Dongzhimen in about 20–30 minutes for ¥25. Official taxis are available at designated stands with a typical fare to the city center around ¥100–150, while ride-hailing apps like Didi are also widely used. An airport shuttle bus network covers major hotels and neighborhoods for ¥20–55, though travel times are longer. Car rentals are present but less common for city access due to traffic and parking challenges.",

All three carriers operate daily, with multiple departure times throughout the day.",

        "answer": "Beijing Capital Airport (PEK) does not have on-site hotels, capsule hotels, or sleeping pods inside any terminal. The closest hotels are off-airport and require a shuttle; the Hilton Beijing Capital Airport and Langham Place are connected by free shuttle bus, about a 5-minute ride from Terminal 3.
