        "question": "Which cities in Indonesia can I fly to from Medan?",
        "answer": "From Medan you can fly non-stop to Jakarta, Batam, and Banda Aceh. For Bali you usually connect in Jakarta.

      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from Medan to Indonesia?",
        "answer": "Medan is already in Indonesia, so domestic flights to other cities are short. Non-stop to Jakarta takes about 2 hours 15 minutes, while flights to Denpasar (Bali) typically range from 3.5 to 4 hours non-stop. One-stop itineraries are uncommon for these domestic routes but would significantly increase travel time."
      },
      "q2": {
        "question": "Are there direct flights from Medan to Indonesia?",

Airlines like Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air, Citilink, and Batik Air connect Medan directly to Jakarta, Surabaya, Denpasar (Bali), Batam, and many other destinations. Flight times are typically around 2–3 hours to Jakarta and 4–5 hours to Bali."

Most are reachable by direct domestic flights from Medan or via Jakarta."
      },
      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from Medan to Indonesia?",
        "answer": "Medan is a city in Indonesia, so if you are a U.S. citizen already in Medan, you are already inside Indonesia and do not need a new visa to travel domestically to another part of Indonesia. Ensure your existing visa or entry permit remains valid for the duration of your stay, as overstaying can lead to penalties."
