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 Tokyo?",
        "answer": "Tokyo is served by two major airports, Narita (NRT) and Haneda (HND). From Narita, the fastest option is the Keisei Skyliner, reaching Nippori in about 36 minutes, or the JR Narita Express (NEX) to Tokyo Station in roughly 53 minutes. From Haneda, the Tokyo Monorail connects to Hamamatsucho Station in about 15 minutes, while the Keikyu Line reaches Shinagawa in around 12 minutes. Both airports offer limousine buses that provide direct service to major hotels and districts, taking 60 to 90 minutes depending on traffic. Taxis are available but expensive for long distances; flat-rate taxi services are common from both airports. Ride-share services are limited due to strict regulations. Car rentals are available but not recommended for city travel due to traffic and parking challenges. Most travelers use trains because of their speed, reliability, and extensive network connections."
