The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Manila?", "answer": "From Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), ground transportation into central Manila includes taxis, ride-hailing via Grab, airport buses and jeepneys, and a light rail link: the LRT Line 1 Cavite Extension now serves Ninoy Aquino Avenue station, opened in November 2024, with connecting jeepney or UV Express rides for the last mile to the terminals. Taxis and Grab are generally the most comfortable and direct, while buses and jeepneys are cheaper but slower in traffic. The LRT is fast once you reach it but requires a short road transfer from the airport.
