        "question": "How long is the flight from Surabaya to Hong Kong?",

Typical total travel times range from about 7½ to 11 hours, depending on the layover city and duration. Eastbound and westbound times are similar because the route is primarily north-south with minimal time zone change."

      },
      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Surabaya to Hong Kong?",
        "answer": "The cheapest time to fly from Surabaya to Hong Kong is typically outside of peak summer months and major holidays, when demand drives up fares. Midweek departures, especially on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, tend to be less expensive than weekend flights, and early morning departures around 8:00 AM often offer better value on this nonstop route served by Cathay Pacific.",
        "methodology": "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. 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. 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."

All are linked by MTR trains and buses."
      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Hong Kong are best to fly into from Surabaya?",
        "answer": "Hong Kong has one major international airport, Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), which handles all flights from Surabaya. It offers excellent onward connections via the Airport Express train, buses, and ferries to the city center and nearby regions."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Hong Kong?",
        "answer": "October to early December offers comfortable temperatures and lower humidity, avoiding the summer heat and typhoon season. Spring from March to April is also pleasant, though prices may be higher around holidays."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Juanda Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "To reach Juanda International Airport from Surabaya city center, public buses run by Damri offer an affordable option, while the airport is also served by a dedicated toll road making taxis and ride‑share services like Grab and Gojek a fast and popular choice, typically taking around 30–40 minutes. There is currently no direct train service to the airport, and driving yourself is possible with both short‑term and long‑term parking available at the terminal.",
