        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Miyako to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "A direct flight from Miyako (MMY) to Tokyo (usually Haneda) takes about 2 hours 40 minutes to 3 hours. There are no typical layover flights on this domestic route, as direct service is standard. The return flight from Tokyo to Miyako takes roughly the same time."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Miyako to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "Yes, ANA (NH) and JAL (JL) both fly non‑stop from Miyako (MMY) to Tokyo Haneda (HND) daily. ANA operates about 9 flights a day spread across late‑morning and mid‑afternoon departure windows, while JAL runs roughly 8 daily flights in the early‑afternoon window.",
        "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 Tokyo?",
        "answer": "Tokyo has two main airports: Narita (NRT) and Haneda (HND). From Narita, the Narita Express (N'EX) train reaches central stations like Tokyo, Shinagawa, and Shinjuku in about fifty to seventy minutes. The Keisei Skyliner is faster to Ueno and Nippori, taking around forty minutes. Limousine buses serve major hotels and districts, taking sixty to ninety minutes. Taxis are available but extremely expensive, costing hundreds of dollars for the trip. From Haneda, the Tokyo Monorail and Keikyu Line connect to central Tokyo in fifteen to thirty minutes. Buses and taxis are also options, with taxis being more affordable than from Narita but still pricey for long distances. Ride-share services are limited due to strict regulations. Car rentals are not recommended due to heavy traffic, complex road systems, and high parking costs. Most travelers use trains for their speed, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, with the Narita Express and Skyliner being the top choices from Narita, and the monorail or Keikyu Line from Haneda."

        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Miyako to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "No overnight (red-eye) flights are available from Miyako (MMY) to Tokyo (TYO). The schedule data shows no nonstop red-eye service on this route, and no connecting itineraries with a red-eye long leg were found either.",
        "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.",

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Jima from the city center?",
        "answer": "Miyako Airport is small and close to the city center. There is no train; local buses connect downtown to the airport in about 15–20 minutes. Taxis are the fastest and most popular option, taking roughly 10 minutes and costing more. Rideshare is limited, and driving with parking is possible but rarely needed given the short distance."
