        "answer": "Yes, there are direct non‑stop flights from Miyazaki (KMI) to Fukuoka (FUK), operated by two airlines: JAL (JL) and ANA (NH). Both fly the route daily, with JAL offering up to 12 departures per day and ANA offering up to 6, giving a combined total of around 18 daily non‑stop flights. The earliest departure is at 07:35 and the latest at 20:35.",
        "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 Fukuoka?",
        "answer": "Fukuoka Airport is extremely close to the city center, making ground transportation quick and easy. The Fukuoka City Subway Kuko Line connects the domestic terminal directly to Hakata Station in about six minutes and to Tenjin in about eleven minutes; it is the most used option for its speed and convenience. A free shuttle bus links the international terminal to the domestic terminal, where you can access the subway. Taxis are readily available and take roughly ten to fifteen minutes to central areas, offering a comfortable but more expensive alternative. Ride-share services are limited in Japan, but local taxi apps like DiDi and JapanTaxi operate. Car rentals are available at the airport but are not recommended for city travel due to limited parking and excellent public transit. Buses also serve the airport but are less frequent and slower than the subway."
