        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Jeju Island to Busan?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Jeju Island to Busan typically takes about 55 to 60 minutes. There are no common one-stop itineraries on this short domestic route, as direct flights are frequent and efficient."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Jeju Island to Busan?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct non‑stop flights from Jeju (CJU) to Busan (PUS) — five carriers (Air Busan, Jeju Air, Korean Air, Eastar Jet, and Jin Air) together offer over 300 weekly flights, all operating daily. Korean Air also runs a daily red‑eye departure at 21:05. Most flights use Boeing 737‑800s or unspecified narrowbody types on this short hop.",
        "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. 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. Aircraft types are taken from the equipment each operating carrier schedules on this route, drawn from published airline timetables and airline equipment schedules in our flight-schedule database. They describe typical scheduled aircraft and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute equipment swaps.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Busan?",
        "answer": "From Gimhae International Airport (PUS) to Busan city center, the fastest option is the Busan-Gimhae Light Rail Transit, which connects to the Busan Metro network and takes about 30 minutes. Taxis are readily available and offer a direct ride in roughly the same time, while airport limousine buses serve major hotels and districts. Ride‑sharing apps are limited in South Korea, but KakaoTaxi can be used to hail a regular taxi. Car rentals are available at the airport, though driving in Busan can be challenging for visitors. The light rail and metro combination is the most popular and efficient choice for most travelers.",

        "question": "How do I get to Jeju Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "To reach Jeju International Airport from downtown Jeju City, public buses are the most popular and affordable option, with routes connecting the city center and major hotels to the airport. Taxis are widely available and offer a faster, more comfortable ride directly to the terminal, though at a higher cost. There are no dedicated airport shuttle buses or ride‑share services like Uber, but local call‑taxi apps can be used. Driving and parking at the airport are possible, with short‑term and long‑term lots available, though traffic near the airport can be heavy during peak times.",
