        "answer": "A direct flight from Alor Setar (AOR) to Kuala Lumpur's Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB) takes about 1 hour and 5 minutes. There are no regular layover flights on this short domestic route, and the return flight duration is essentially the same."

        "answer": "Yes, Firefly (FY) flies non‑stop from Alor Setar (AOR) to Kuala Lumpur–Subang (SZB) with 14 weekly flights operating daily at three departure times: 14:55, 17:15, and 20:55. Firefly is the only airline on this non‑stop route.",
        "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).

Taxis and ride‑share services are readily available and provide door‑to‑door convenience, while car rentals offer flexibility for onward travel. The train is generally the fastest and most‑used option for avoiding traffic, though taxis remain popular for those with luggage or late‑night arrivals.",

        "question": "How do I get to Alor Setar from the city center?",
        "answer": "Public transportation to Sultan Abdul Halim Airport from Alor Setar city center is limited; the most practical options are ride‑share services like Grab or a short taxi ride, both taking about 15–20 minutes. Driving is straightforward with clear signage and ample short‑term parking at the terminal. There is no dedicated airport shuttle bus or rail link. Taxis and ride‑shares are the most popular and convenient choices, while driving offers flexibility at a slightly higher cost for parking.",
