        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Alor Setar to Johor Bahru?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Alor Setar (AOR) to Johor Bahru (JHB) typically takes about 1 hour 15 minutes.

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Alor Setar to Johor Bahru?",
        "answer": "Yes, AirAsia (AK) flies non‑stop from Alor Setar to Johor Bahru. The service runs four days a week — Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays — with departures at 11:25, 13:55, and 21:35, giving eight weekly flights.",
        "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. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. 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.",

        "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.",

        "question": "What aircraft are typically used on flights from Alor Setar to Johor Bahru?",
        "answer": "There is no nonstop service between Alor Setar and Johor Bahru, so all flights connect. The most common aircraft on the longer leg is the Airbus A320-100 (often via Kuala Lumpur International), with some flights using ATR 72 turboprops (listed as Aerospatiale) via Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport. The exact aircraft can vary by day and airline, but these are the types that typically appear.",
        "methodology": "Aircraft types are taken from the equipment each operating carrier schedules on this route, drawn from published airline timetables and airline equipment schedules in our flight-schedule database. They describe typical scheduled aircraft and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute equipment swaps.",
