Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled 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). 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. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price."}, "q6": {"question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in Korea?", "answer": "In Korea, top cities include Seoul for its dynamic culture and historic sites, Busan for coastal scenery, Gyeongju for ancient tombs and temples, Jeju Island for volcanic landscapes and Incheon as a gateway with its own attractions."}, "q8": {"question": "Which airports in Korea are best to fly into from Kitakyushu?", "answer": "From Kitakyushu, the best airport in Korea is Incheon International Airport, the main hub with the most long-haul connections and high-speed rail to Seoul and beyond.
