        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Tokyo to Beijing?",
        "answer": "The nonstop flight from Tokyo to Beijing is about 1,300 miles and typically takes 4 hours 10 minutes eastbound, while the return is about 3 hours 25 minutes westbound — the westbound leg is shorter by 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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Beijing?",
        "answer": "Your flight from Tokyo arrives at Beijing Capital Airport (PEK), not the metro code BJS. For getting into central Beijing, the Airport Express train is the fastest and most-used option, reaching Dongzhimen in about 20 minutes for ¥25. Taxis are readily available and convenient, with a metered fare to the city center typically ¥100–150, though surcharges apply late at night or for long distances. Ride-hailing apps like Didi are widely used and offer a reliable alternative to taxis, with pick-up points at the terminals. Public shuttle buses serve various city routes for ¥20–55, but are slower and less popular than the train. Car rentals exist but are uncommon for transfers due to traffic and parking challenges.",
