        "answer": "There are no direct flights from Bangkok (BKK) to Johor Bahru (JHB). With one stop, typically via Kuala Lumpur (KUL), the total travel time is usually around 4 to 5 hours, including the layover. The return flight takes a similar amount of time."

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Bangkok to Johor Bahru?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop flights from Bangkok to Johor Bahru. The shortest connections route through Kuala Lumpur (KUL) on Malaysia Airlines or Thai Airways, with a flight time of about 2 hours 10 minutes to KUL, a layover of roughly 3.5 to 9 hours, and a short 60‑minute hop to Johor Bahru — total journey around 5 to 8 hours. Malaysia Airlines offers the most frequent one‑stop itineraries on this route.",
        "methodology": "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. 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. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price.",
