        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Oita to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Oita (OIT) to Tokyo Haneda (HND) typically takes about 1 hour 30 minutes.

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Oita to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct non‑stop flights from Oita (OIT) to Tokyo Haneda (HND), operated by JAL (JL) and ANA (NH). Both airlines fly the route daily, with JAL offering 24 departures per day and ANA offering 12 departures per day spread across morning, midday, and evening time slots.",
        "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 Haneda Airport is very close to central Tokyo, making ground transportation fast and convenient. The Tokyo Monorail connects to Hamamatsucho Station in about fifteen to twenty minutes, linking to the JR Yamanote Line. The Keikyu Line reaches Shinagawa Station in roughly fifteen minutes, also connecting to major JR lines. Both trains are inexpensive, frequent, and widely used. Limousine buses serve major hotels and districts in thirty to sixty minutes, ideal for travelers with luggage. Taxis are plentiful but cost around six thousand to nine thousand yen to central areas. Ride-share is limited in Japan; app-based taxi hailing is the alternative. Car rentals are available but impractical for city travel due to traffic, limited parking, and excellent transit. The Keikyu Line and Tokyo Monorail are the most used options for their speed and affordability."
