        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Seoul to Yanji?",
        "answer": "The flight from Seoul to Yanji covers about 410 miles. Nonstop flights typically take 2 hours 25 minutes, with the return leg lasting about 2 hours 30 minutes — a small difference that doesn't meaningfully favor either direction.",
        "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 Yanji?",
        "answer": "Yanji Chaoyangchuan International Airport is about 5 km from downtown Yanji, with taxis and bus service connecting the two. The most used option is the airport shuttle bus, which is cheap and reliable, while a taxi takes about 10–15 minutes and is the fastest way to the city center. Ride-hailing apps are available but may be less common for foreign visitors; car rentals are not a practical choice for this short trip. Overall, taxis are best for speed and convenience, while the bus is the budget-friendly standard.",

        "answer": "To reach Incheon International Airport from downtown Seoul, the Airport Railroad (AREX) express train is the fastest and most popular option, connecting major stations like Seoul Station directly to the airport. Airport limousine buses are a convenient alternative, especially if you live near an express bus terminal, with fares around 17,000 KRW for adults. Taxis, including standard, deluxe, and international taxis with flat fares in Seoul, offer door-to-door service but cost more and are subject to surcharges at night or when crossing city boundaries. Driving and parking are possible but less common for travelers due to traffic and parking fees.",
