        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Gwangju to Jeju Island?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Gwangju (KWJ) to Jeju (CJU) typically takes 50–55 minutes. There are no practical one‑stop itineraries on this short domestic route, and the return flight has the same duration. Korean Air and Jeju Air operate the route with similar flight times."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Gwangju to Jeju Island?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct non‑stop flights from Gwangju (KWJ) to Jeju (CJU), operated daily by four airlines: Korean Air (KE, 8 daily departures), Asiana Airlines (OZ, 7 daily), Jeju Air (7C, 3 daily), and Jin Air (LJ, 3 daily). Flights run every day of the week with frequent departures throughout the day, so you have plenty of options.",
        "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 Jeju Island?",
        "answer": "Jeju International Airport is located close to Jeju City, making ground transportation straightforward. The airport limousine bus route 600 serves major hotels and tourist areas, taking about twenty to thirty minutes to reach downtown. Local city buses are cheaper but slower and less convenient with luggage. Taxis are readily available at the terminal and offer a comfortable, direct ride to the city center in about ten to fifteen minutes. Ride-share apps are limited in Korea, but KakaoTaxi works. Car rentals are extremely popular in Jeju due to the island's spread-out attractions and limited public transit outside the city; many visitors rent a car at the airport. The most commonly used option for reaching the city center is the taxi due to its speed and convenience, while car rental is the most used overall for exploring the island."

      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Gwangju to Jeju Island?",
        "answer": "The best fares on the Gwangju–Jeju route typically come when booking about 4 to 6 weeks ahead, though for peak summer travel (late July–August) and major Korean holidays like Chuseok or Seollal you should aim for 8 to 12 weeks in advance since seats fill quickly and prices climb steeply.",

        "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.",
