        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Jakarta to Seoul?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Jakarta (CGK) to Seoul (ICN) typically takes about 7 hours 15 minutes to 7 hours 30 minutes. With one stop, total travel time often ranges from 10 to 14 hours, depending on the layover city. The return flight is usually slightly shorter, around 6 hours 45 minutes to 7 hours nonstop."

      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Jakarta to Seoul?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are nonstop flights from Jakarta (CGK) to Seoul (ICN). Three airlines operate the route — Asiana Airlines (OZ), Korean Air (KE), and Garuda Indonesia (GA) — all with daily service. Asiana offers two daily departures (around 9:30 PM and 10:30 PM), Korean Air one (around 9:50 PM), and Garuda Indonesia up to three (between 10:40 PM and 11:30 PM), giving a total of about 28 weekly nonstop 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.",

        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Jakarta to Seoul?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are visa requirements for travel between Jakarta and Seoul depending on your nationality. Indonesian citizens traveling to South Korea must obtain a Korea Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA) before departure for short-term visits; however, from April 1, 2023, to December 31, 2025, K-ETA is temporarily exempted for Indonesian nationals. South Korean citizens traveling to Indonesia can enter visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism purposes. Other nationalities should check specific visa requirements based on their passport."

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Seoul?",
        "answer": "From Incheon Airport (ICN) to Seoul city center, the fastest option is the AREX Express train, reaching Seoul Station nonstop in about 43 minutes. The AREX All-Stop commuter train is a cheaper rail alternative with more stations. Airport limousine buses serve many districts and hotels, with fares around ₩17,000–18,000, and are highly convenient for door-to-door travel. Taxis and ride-hailing apps like Kakao T are readily available but cost significantly more. The AREX Express is the most popular choice for speed and reliability.",

Asiana operates two daily red‑eyes at 21:30 and 22:30, Korean Air has one at 21:50, and Garuda Indonesia runs one in the 22:40–23:30 window — all departing late evening and arriving the next morning.",

        "answer": "Common layover cities include Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Hong Kong. Singapore Changi offers efficient transfers and extensive amenities. Kuala Lumpur provides competitive fares and smooth connections. Hong Kong serves as a major hub with broad onward connections and efficient transit, though verify current transit regulations."

      "q9": {
        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Jakarta to Seoul?",
        "answer": "Timeliness is generally acceptable, but afternoon and evening flights can face delays due to congestion at Jakarta. Early morning departures on carriers like Garuda Indonesia and Korean Air tend to run more punctually."

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Seoul?",
        "answer": "Seoul has two airports. Incheon is the main international gateway, located about 48 km west of downtown, and serves most full‑service airlines and alliances. Gimpo is closer to the city centre, around 15 km, and handles primarily domestic flights and some regional international services, often with low‑cost carriers."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Soekarno-Hatta Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From central Jakarta, the Soekarno-Hatta Airport Rail Link is the fastest and most reliable public transport, connecting from stations like BNI City and Duri in about 50 minutes. Damri shuttle buses and private bus operators run frequent services from major hubs such as Gambir Station and shopping centers, offering a cheaper but slower alternative. Ride-hailing apps like Grab and Gojek are widely used for door-to-door convenience, while metered and fixed-rate taxis are readily available; all road options are subject to Jakarta's heavy traffic, so allow extra time. Driving and parking at the airport is possible with both short- and long-term lots, but the toll road can be congested, making the train the most popular choice for avoiding delays.",
