        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Da Nang to Hong Kong typically takes around 1 hour 50 minutes to 2 hours.

        "answer": "Yes, two airlines fly non‑stop from Da Nang to Hong Kong: HK Express (UO) and Hong Kong Airlines (HX), both operating daily. Between them they offer up to 9 daily departures — HK Express runs 5 flights a day (35 weekly) and Hong Kong Airlines runs 4 (28 weekly).",
        "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": "How do I get to Da Nang Intl Airport from the city center?",
