        "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 Haneda Airport to central Tokyo, the fastest and most-used option is the Keikyu Line train, which reaches Shinagawa in about 13 minutes and connects to the JR Yamanote Line and Asakusa subway line. The Tokyo Monorail is also excellent, offering a scenic ride to Hamamatsucho Station in roughly 18 minutes where you can transfer to the JR Yamanote Line. Airport limousine buses run directly to major hotels and districts like Shinjuku and Tokyo Station, which is convenient if you have luggage, though slower in traffic. Taxis are available but expensive, often costing ¥6,000–10,000 depending on your destination, and ride-share services are limited in Japan. Car rentals exist at the airport but are generally not recommended for city-center travel due to high parking costs and excellent public transit.",

      "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": "New Ishigaki Airport is about a 30-minute drive from central Ishigaki City, and the main public transport option is the local Azuma Bus service, which connects the airport with the city and other parts of the island. Taxis are readily available and offer a faster, more direct ride, though they cost more than the bus. Rental cars are also available at the airport for those who prefer to drive themselves, with parking on site. The bus is the most popular and economical choice for most travelers, while a taxi or rental car is the fastest door-to-door option.",
