        "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 Denpasar?",
        "answer": "From I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar, you can reach the city center and surrounding areas by taxi, ride-share, private transfer, or car rental. Official airport taxis are available at fixed rates and are reliable, while ride-share services like Grab and Gojek require a short walk outside the airport for pickup and offer lower fares. No mass transit directly serves the airport, though the Trans Sarbagita bus system has limited routes nearby and is not widely used by tourists. Car rentals with or without a driver are available and provide flexibility for exploring Bali. The most commonly used option is a metered taxi or ride-share service, as they balance convenience and cost for the short drive to central Denpasar, which typically takes fifteen to thirty minutes depending on traffic."

      "q9": {
        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Labuan Bajo to Denpasar?",
