        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Da Nang to Bangkok?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Da Nang (DAD) to Bangkok Don Mueang (DMK) typically takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Flights with a layover, most commonly in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, can take 4 to 7 hours total depending on the connection time. The return flight from Bangkok to Da Nang has a similar duration."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Da Nang to Bangkok?",
        "answer": "Yes, Thai AirAsia (FD) flies non‑stop from Da Nang to Bangkok's Don Mueang Airport (DMK) daily, with five departures a day at 09:40, 12:00, 12:40, 18:10, and 18:50 — 35 weekly flights in total. It's the only carrier on this non‑stop route.",
        "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).

        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Da Nang to Bangkok?",
        "answer": "Yes, visa requirements apply. For Vietnamese citizens, Thailand offers visa-free entry for up to 30 days for tourism, so no visa is needed for short stays. For Thai citizens, Vietnam grants visa-free entry for up to 30 days. Other nationalities should check requirements based on their passport."
      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Bangkok?",
        "answer": "From Don Mueang Airport (DMK), the most practical options into Bangkok are metered taxi and public bus. Taxis are available at the official stand outside arrivals, charging the meter plus a 50 baht surcharge; a trip to central Siam costs around 200 baht and takes 30 minutes to an hour, making it the fastest and most-used private option. Public buses, like the No. 29 to central Bangkok for about 18 baht, offer a very low-cost alternative, though they can be slower in traffic. Ride-share services also operate, but the metered taxi is the dominant choice for visitors. Car rentals are available on the first floor, but driving in Bangkok is generally not recommended for tourists.",

        "answer": "Common layovers include Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, which offer frequent domestic connections and keep total travel time competitive with short transfer times. International hubs like Kuala Lumpur or Singapore are less common for this route and may increase travel time."

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Bangkok?",
        "answer": "Suvarnabhumi Airport is the main international gateway, located about 30 km east of downtown, serving full-service airlines and major alliances. Don Mueang Airport is closer to the city centre, primarily handling low-cost carriers and domestic flights."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Da Nang Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Da Nang, the airport is conveniently close—about 3 km southwest of the city center. Public buses (routes 01, 02, 03, and 04) run frequently along major corridors, while ride‑share apps like Grab are the most popular and fastest door‑to‑door option. Metered taxis are also widely available and are comparable in cost to ride‑share. Driving yourself is possible with ample short‑ and long‑term parking at the terminal, but traffic and parking fees make it less common for short trips.",
