        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Iloilo to Cebu?",
        "answer": "Flights from Iloilo to Cebu cover about 110 miles and typically take 50 minutes nonstop, with the return leg slightly longer at 55 minutes. Multiple airlines serve the route daily, including Cebgo, Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and AirAsia Philippines, offering frequent departures throughout the day.",
        "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 Mactan–Cebu International Airport to the city center, taxis are the fastest and most convenient option, with metered fares typically around PHP 300–500. Ride-hailing apps like Grab are also available and widely used. Public transport includes jeepneys and buses, but these are slower and less direct, requiring a transfer at the terminal. There are no rail or mass transit links yet, though a bus rapid transit system is under construction. Car rentals are available but less common for short transfers.",

Cebgo (DG) operates a daily red‑eye departing at 10:15 PM, and Cebu Pacific (5J) runs one four nights a week (Tue/Thu/Sat/Sun) departing at 11:40 PM. Both flights are short hops, so they land the same night.",
        "methodology": "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.",

Philippine Airlines runs about 35 flights a week, Cebu Pacific 18, Cebgo 14, and AirAsia Philippines 4 on select days. Typical per‑carrier fares aren’t available for this route, but the schedule shows daily service from the first three carriers and near‑daily from AirAsia.",

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.

        "answer": "As a domestic route, direct flights are common, but if you need a connection, Manila and Clark are typical layover cities. Manila offers the most frequent connections, while Clark can sometimes provide a quicker transfer due to its smaller size."

        "question": "Which months have the best weather for traveling to Cebu?",
        "answer": "December to May is the dry season with sunny skies and low humidity, ideal for beach trips and sightseeing. Avoid the rainy months from June to November."

        "question": "What documents should I bring with me to the airport when flying from Iloilo to Cebu?",

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Cebu?",
        "answer": "Mactan–Cebu International Airport is the only airport serving Cebu. It is located on Mactan Island, about 30 minutes from downtown Cebu City and close to beach resorts."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Iloilo Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Iloilo City, the most popular way to reach Iloilo International Airport (Cabatuan) is by taxi or ride‑share (Grab), which takes about 30–45 minutes depending on traffic and is the fastest door‑to‑door option. Public shuttle vans and jeepneys also serve the route from the city center, offering a more affordable but slower ride with multiple stops. If driving yourself, the airport is about 24 km northwest via the Iloilo–Cabatuan Road, and short‑ and long‑term parking is available at the terminal. There is no direct public bus or rail link to the airport.",

Mactan-Cebu International Airport provides similar accessibility features with wheelchair-accessible pathways and restrooms, and assistance can be arranged in advance through your airline, while Terminal 2 includes a small play zone for children near the domestic departure gates. Both airports comply with Philippine accessibility regulations, but for specific needs it's best to coordinate directly with your carrier.",
