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.

Prepaid taxis and app-based cabs are the most used and generally fastest for door-to-door service, while the metro is efficient for avoiding traffic but requires a short connection from the terminals.
