        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Paris to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Paris (CDG) to Tokyo (NRT or HND) takes roughly 11 hours 45 minutes to 12 hours 30 minutes eastbound. The return westbound flight typically takes about 13 hours to 13 hours 45 minutes due to headwinds. Air France and Japan Airlines operate nonstop service. Connecting flights via hubs such as Dubai, Doha, or Helsinki generally add 3 to 5 hours to total travel time."

        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Paris to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "French citizens can visit Japan visa-free for up to 90 days under a bilateral agreement. Japanese citizens can visit France and the broader Schengen Area visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Travelers of other nationalities should check Japan's visa requirements based on their passport, as Japan has visa exemption agreements with many countries but requires visas from others. All visitors to Japan must clear immigration and customs upon arrival."

      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Tokyo?",
        "answer": "Tokyo is served by two airports, Narita and Haneda, both with excellent rail connections. From Narita, the Narita Express (N'EX) reaches Shinjuku or Tokyo Station in about sixty to ninety minutes and is the most popular choice for international arrivals. The Keisei Skyliner reaches Ueno in about forty minutes and is slightly cheaper. Limousine buses connect both airports to major hotels across the city but take longer due to traffic. From Haneda, which is closer to central Tokyo, the Tokyo Monorail reaches Hamamatsucho in about twenty minutes, and the Keikyu Line connects to Shinagawa and beyond in roughly fifteen minutes. Taxis are widely available and comfortable but expensive, particularly from Narita. Ride-share apps are limited in Japan as traditional licensed taxis dominate. Car rentals are available but driving in Tokyo is not recommended for visitors. Most travelers arriving at Narita use the N'EX, while those at Haneda typically take the monorail or Keikyu Line."

        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Paris to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "On-time performance on Paris to Tokyo flights is reasonable but not guaranteed, as long-haul operations are sensitive to slot congestion at both Charles de Gaulle and Haneda or Narita. Air France and Japan Airlines both maintain relatively strong punctuality records on this route. Booking an early morning departure from CDG improves your odds considerably, as delays tend to accumulate through the day."

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Charles de Gaulle Intl Airport from the city center?",
