        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Cagayan de Oro to Cebu?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Cagayan de Oro (CGY) to Cebu (CEB) typically takes about 50 to 55 minutes. Flights with one stop, often via Manila, can take around 3 to 4 hours total travel time. The return flight duration is comparable."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Cagayan de Oro to Cebu?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct non‑stop flights from Cagayan de Oro (CGY) to Cebu (CEB). Three airlines operate the route daily: Cebgo (DG) with up to 8 departures, Philippine Airlines (PR) with up to 7, and Cebu Pacific (5J) with 4, for a combined total of over 110 weekly non‑stop flights.",
        "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.",

      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Cebu?",
        "answer": "From Mactan-Cebu International Airport, taxis are the most convenient and popular way to reach Cebu City center, with the ride taking about 30–45 minutes depending on traffic. Ride-hailing apps like Grab are available and widely used, often providing a more reliable fare. Car rentals are offered at the airport but are less common for city transfers due to heavy traffic and limited parking. There is no direct mass transit link yet, though a Bus Rapid Transit system is partially operational in the city. Jeepneys and buses serve local routes but are not practical for airport-to-city transfers.",

      "q9": {
        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Cagayan de Oro to Cebu?",
        "answer": "On-time performance is generally good on this short domestic route, but afternoon thunderstorms can cause delays. Early morning flights on Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines tend to be most punctual."

        "question": "How do I get to Cagayan De Oro from the city center?",
        "answer": "To reach Laguindingan Airport (CGY) from downtown Cagayan de Oro, the most popular and convenient option is the Magnum Express shuttle bus, which offers direct, air-conditioned service from Limketkai Mall and takes about 45–60 minutes. Taxis and ride-hailing services like Grab are also available, providing a faster and more private ride, though at a higher cost. Public jeepneys and buses serve the airport but involve longer travel times and less direct routing. Driving and parking are possible, with the airport offering both short-term and long-term parking areas, but the shuttle remains the most balanced choice for cost and convenience.",
