        "question": "How do I get to Tribhuvan Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From central Kathmandu, the most practical way to reach Tribhuvan International Airport is by taxi or ride‑share, which takes about 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and is the most popular choice for its door‑to‑door convenience. Metered taxis are available, but many drivers prefer to negotiate a flat fare, while apps like Pathao and inDrive offer set pricing. Public buses serve the airport from various points in the city and are the cheapest option, though they can be crowded and less reliable. Driving yourself is possible but parking at the airport is limited, so it’s rarely the fastest or easiest method.",
