        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Ishigaki to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "The flight from Ishigaki to Tokyo is about 1,210 miles and typically takes 2 hours 50 minutes nonstop, while the return leg to Ishigaki is longer at 3 hours 30 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 Tokyo?",
        "answer": "From Tokyo Haneda Airport, the fastest and most-used option to central Tokyo is the train, with the Tokyo Monorail reaching Hamamatsucho Station in about 15 minutes and the Keikyu Line connecting to Shinagawa and beyond. Taxis are readily available but expensive and slower in traffic, while limousine buses serve major hotels and neighborhoods. Ride-sharing is limited in Japan; rental cars are unnecessary for city-center access given the excellent rail links. The monorail and Keikyu Line are the dominant choices for speed and convenience.",

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.

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Tokyo?",
        "answer": "Haneda is closer to central Tokyo, ideal for quick access to the city and business districts. Narita is farther out but serves more international routes and low-cost carriers. Use Haneda for convenience, Narita for specific airlines or cheaper fares."

        "question": "How do I get to New Ishigaki Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From Ishigaki city center, the 30-minute drive to New Ishigaki Airport is most commonly made by public bus or taxi. Buses are the cheapest option, while taxis offer a faster, door-to-door ride. Rental cars are available at the airport and in town, with parking at the terminal for those who prefer to drive themselves. Ride-share services are not available on the island.",
