        "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).

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Hiroshima?",
        "answer": "Hiroshima Airport (HIJ) is located about 50 kilometers east of the city center. The most popular and efficient option is the airport limousine bus, which takes around 45 to 55 minutes to reach Hiroshima Station and the central bus terminal, with frequent departures timed to flights. There is no direct train connection; the nearest rail station is Shiraichi, requiring a taxi or bus transfer. Taxis are available but cost around 13,000 to 15,000 yen and take about the same time as the bus. Ride-share services like Uber are limited and not a primary option. Car rentals are available at the airport for regional exploration but are unnecessary for city travel. Most visitors use the limousine bus for its convenience, reliability, and value."

        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Tokyo to Hiroshima?",
