        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Jeju Island to Gwangju?",
        "answer": "A direct flight from Jeju (CJU) to Gwangju (KWJ) usually takes about 50 to 55 minutes. Flights with a layover are uncommon on this short domestic route and would significantly increase total travel time. The return flight duration is nearly identical."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Jeju Island to Gwangju?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct non‑stop flights from Jeju Island (CJU) to Gwangju (KWJ). Four airlines operate the route — Korean Air (KE), Asiana Airlines (OZ), Jeju Air (7C), and Jin Air (LJ) — all with daily service. Together they offer about 154 weekly departures, with the first flight leaving around 07:25 and the last around 18:20.",
        "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": "What are the ground transportation options in Gwangju?",
        "answer": "From Gwangju Airport, the main ground transport options are taxi, bus, and the Gwangju Metro. A subway station (Airport station on Line 1) is about 300 meters from the terminal, offering a direct connection to the city center, though usage has declined since the KTX high-speed rail opened at nearby Gwangju Songjeong Station. Buses also connect the airport to major districts including Sangmu and Geumnamro. Taxis are readily available and provide the fastest door-to-door journey, while ride-share services are limited and car rentals are not a primary option at this small domestic airport. The metro is the most-used public transit option for reaching central Gwangju.",

        "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 Jeju Island to Gwangju?",
        "answer": "This short domestic route is generally reliable, but Jeju's weather can cause delays. Early flights tend to have better on‑time performance, and Korean Air and Asiana are noted for their punctuality."

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Gwangju?",
        "answer": "Gwangju has only one airport, Gwangju Airport, located about 11 km west of downtown, offering domestic flights and easy access to the city."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Jeju Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Jeju City, public buses are the most popular and economical way to reach Jeju International Airport, with frequent service connecting major areas. Taxis are readily available and offer a faster, door-to-door option at a higher cost. Ride-share services are limited, but you can use local taxi-hailing apps. Driving and parking at the airport is possible, though parking fees apply and the lot can fill up during peak travel times.",
