        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Hiroshima to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "A direct flight from Hiroshima (HIJ) to Tokyo Haneda (HND) takes about 1 hour 25 minutes. ANA and JAL both operate this route with similar flight times. The return flight is roughly the same duration. Note that the Shinkansen bullet train is a popular alternative, covering the route in about 4 hours."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Hiroshima to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are plenty of nonstop flights from Hiroshima (HIJ) to Tokyo Haneda (HND), operated daily by both Japan Airlines (JL) and ANA (NH) — those are the only two carriers on the route. Japan Airlines runs roughly 183 flights per week with departures spread throughout the day from early morning to evening, while ANA operates about 98 weekly flights with a similar spread of departure times.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Tokyo?",
        "answer": "Tokyo is served by two airports, Narita (NRT) and Haneda (HND). From Narita, the Narita Express (N'EX) reaches Shinjuku or Tokyo Station in about ninety minutes and is the most popular choice for visitors. The Keisei Skyliner reaches Ueno in roughly forty minutes and is slightly cheaper. Limousine buses connect Narita to major hotels but take longer in traffic. From Haneda, the Tokyo Monorail reaches Hamamatsucho in about twenty minutes, and the Keikyu Line connects to Shinagawa in around thirteen minutes, making Haneda far more convenient for central Tokyo. Taxis from either airport are expensive and slow in traffic. Ride-sharing apps have limited availability in Japan compared to other countries. Car rentals are available but driving in Tokyo is impractical for most visitors. Rail services are by far the most used option, valued for their punctuality, comfort, and frequency. Since this is a domestic route, visa requirements are not applicable."

        "question": "Which airlines usually operate this route from Hiroshima to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "On the Hiroshima (HIJ) to Tokyo route, two airlines operate nonstop service, both flying into Tokyo Haneda (HND): Japan Airlines (JL) with around 183 weekly flights daily at a wide range of departure times, and ANA (All Nippon Airways, NH) with around 98 weekly flights also running daily. Both carriers offer very frequent service throughout the day, making this one of the most well-served domestic routes in Japan.",

        "question": "If I need a connection, what are common layover cities between Hiroshima and Tokyo?",
        "answer": "This is a domestic route, so layover hub considerations for international connections are not applicable. That said, if you prefer flying over taking the Shinkansen, Osaka and Nagoya can serve as intermediate points, though direct flights between Hiroshima and Tokyo via Haneda are the most common and efficient option."
      },
      "q9": {
        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Hiroshima to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "Japan's domestic aviation consistently ranks among the world's most punctual, and the Hiroshima to Tokyo route reflects that reputation. ANA and JAL both perform well here, with on-time rates frequently above 85 percent. Early morning departures offer the best odds since delays tend to accumulate through the day. Haneda is generally more punctual than Narita for Tokyo arrivals."

Have a payment method ready for checked baggage fees. Proof of onward travel and vaccination certificates are not required for domestic travel within Japan."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Tokyo?",
        "answer": "Haneda is closer to central Tokyo and handles most domestic routes including flights from Hiroshima, making it the practical choice for this trip. Narita is farther out and focuses primarily on international traffic, so it is less relevant for domestic travel within Japan."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Hiroshima Intl from the city center?",
        "answer": "From central Hiroshima, the Hiroshima Airport Limousine Bus is the most popular option, taking about 45 minutes from Hiroshima Station and Hatchobori at moderate cost. Taxis are faster but significantly more expensive. Rideshare services are limited in Japan. Driving takes around 40 minutes via Route 2 and parking is available at the airport but adds cost."
      },
      "q14": {
        "question": "Are there hotels or sleeping facilities at Tokyo airport?",
