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.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Hanoi?", "answer": "From Noi Bai International Airport, public taxis, minibuses, and public buses are available at the arrivals level.

Public buses offer a cheaper alternative, though they are slower and less convenient with luggage. Ride-sharing services like Grab operate widely in Hanoi and are a reliable, often more affordable choice than traditional taxis.
