        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Seoul to Ulsan?",
        "answer": "Direct flights from Seoul Gimpo (GMP) to Ulsan (USN) typically take about 1 hour. There are no practical layover routes on this domestic corridor, so nonstop is the standard. The return flight time is essentially the same."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Seoul to Ulsan?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are non‑stop flights from Seoul Gimpo (GMP) to Ulsan (USN). Only two airlines operate the route: Korean Air (KE) runs four daily departures and Jin Air (LJ) runs one daily departure, so flights are available every day of the week.",
        "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. Carrier service and weekly frequencies are summarized from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). Where available, on-time and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, and typical fares from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Ulsan?",
        "answer": "Ulsan Airport (USN) is located about twenty-five kilometers from the city center. The most convenient way to reach central Ulsan is by taxi, which takes approximately thirty to forty minutes and is widely available outside the terminal. There is no direct subway or rail connection from the airport. Public buses, including routes 402, 412, and 432, serve the airport but take about fifty minutes to an hour, making them slower and less comfortable. Ride-share services like KakaoTaxi operate in the area and are similar in cost and convenience to regular taxis. Car rentals are available at the airport for those planning to explore beyond the city. Most travelers use taxis for their speed and directness, while budget-conscious visitors opt for buses."

        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Seoul to Ulsan?",
        "answer": "No overnight (red-eye) flights are available from Seoul (GMP) to Ulsan (USN). The schedule data shows no nonstop red-eyes on this route, and no connecting itineraries with a red-eye leg were found either.",
        "methodology": "Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes — flagging services that depart late at night and arrive the following morning; for connecting itineraries the red-eye is based on the timing of the overnight long-haul leg.",
