        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Cebu to Iloilo?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Cebu to Iloilo typically takes about 55 minutes. There are no common layover flights on this short domestic route, as direct service is frequent and efficient."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Cebu to Iloilo?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct flights from Cebu to Iloilo. Four airlines operate non‑stop: Philippine Airlines (PR) with 42 weekly flights, Cebu Pacific (5J) with 21, Cebgo (DG) with 14, and AirAsia Z2 with 4 — all run daily except AirAsia Z2, which flies only on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.",
        "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).

        "answer": "No nonstop red-eye flights operate from Cebu to Iloilo, but connecting overnight itineraries are available via Manila. Cebu Pacific (5J) offers the primary red-eye options, with the long leg departing Cebu between 9:45 PM and 11:45 PM and arriving in Manila between 11:20 PM and 1:15 AM; after a layover of about 2.5 to 4.5 hours, a connecting Cebu Pacific flight continues to Iloilo. Philippine Airlines (PR) and AirSWIFT (2P) also show one overnight pattern each, departing Cebu at 10:30 PM and arriving Manila at 11:50 PM, though both involve very long layovers before the onward flight.",
        "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": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Cebu to Iloilo?",
        "answer": "On‑time performance is moderate due to weather and operational factors in the Philippines. Early morning flights, especially on Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines, are generally more punctual."

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Iloilo?",

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Mactan Cebu Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Public buses and modern jeepneys connect downtown Cebu City to Mactan–Cebu International Airport, with MyBus routes and Beep services offering air-conditioned rides at low cost. Taxis and ride-share apps like Grab are widely available, providing a faster and more convenient door-to-door option, typically the most popular choice. Driving and parking are possible with short-term and long-term lots at the airport, though traffic on the Mactan bridges can add significant travel time. For most travelers, a taxi or ride-share is the fastest and most reliable way to reach the airport.",
