        "methodology": "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. The typical price, the lowest fare, a 'great deal' threshold, and how fares are spread across price bands are summarized from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, with a small fraction of extreme outlier fares excluded from the range. The cheapest day of the week and time of day to depart are drawn from the same large sample of real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, grouped by the day of the week and by the time-of-day window of the outbound departure, with the lowest and average price reported for each."

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Kansai Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "The fastest and most popular way to reach Kansai International Airport from central Osaka is by train, with both JR West and Nankai Electric Railway offering direct services from stations like Osaka and Namba in about 35–50 minutes. Airport limousine buses also provide a comfortable door‑to‑terminal option from major hotels and hubs, taking roughly 50–70 minutes. Taxis and ride‑share are available but are significantly more expensive due to the airport's location on an artificial island 38 km from the city. Driving yourself is possible, with both short‑term and long‑term parking on the airport island, though bridge tolls add to the cost.",
