        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Seoul to Jeju Island?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are abundant non-stop flights from Seoul Gimpo (GMP) to Jeju (CJU) — seven airlines operate the route daily: Asiana Airlines (OZ), Jeju Air (7C), Korean Air (KE), Eastar Jet (ZE), Air Busan (BX), Jin Air (LJ), and WE. With over 1,000 weekly departures combined, flights run every day of the week at frequencies ranging from about 2 to 37 flights per carrier per day.",
        "methodology": "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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Jeju Island?",
        "answer": "Jeju International Airport is on the northern edge of Jeju City, about four kilometers from the city center. Local buses, including the express bus 600 that also serves the Jungmun tourist area, are frequent and affordable, taking fifteen to twenty minutes to downtown. Taxis are readily available outside the arrivals hall and offer a quick ten-minute ride to the city center, though they are more expensive than buses. Ride-share services are limited because local regulations favor registered taxis. Car rentals are extremely popular in Jeju for exploring the island beyond the city, with many agencies at the airport. Most visitors heading directly to the city center use taxis for convenience, but overall, car rentals are the most used option for getting around Jeju Island."
