        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Cagayan de Oro to Manila?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct flights from Cagayan de Oro to Manila. Three airlines — Philippine Airlines (PR), Cebu Pacific (5J), and AirAsia Philippines (Z2) — fly the route non‑stop, all operating daily. Together they offer about 27 departures a day, with the first flight leaving around 5:45 AM and the last just before midnight.",
        "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.",

Philippine Airlines operates three daily red‑eyes departing between 9:35 PM and 11:40 PM, while Cebu Pacific and AirAsia Philippines each run one daily red‑eye, departing at 10:10 PM and 10:25 PM respectively. These flights are short enough that they land the same night, typically before midnight.",
        "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.",
