        "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 Kuala Lumpur?",
        "answer": "From Kuala Lumpur International Airport, the KLIA Ekspres train is the fastest and most popular way to the city, reaching KL Sentral in 28 minutes nonstop; the KLIA Transit train also serves KL Sentral with a few stops for a slightly lower fare. Taxis and ride‑hailing services like Grab are widely available and offer door‑to‑door convenience, while buses provide the cheapest option but take longer. Car rentals are available at both terminals, though driving into the city center can be challenging due to traffic. Most travelers use the train for its speed and reliability.",

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Kuala Lumpur?",
        "answer": "Kuala Lumpur has two airports. Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is the main gateway, located about 45 km south of the city centre, and serves most full‑service airlines including Malaysia Airlines (oneworld) and international carriers. KLIA2 is a separate terminal at the same site dedicated to low‑cost carriers like AirAsia, offering budget flights across Asia. Most visitors use KLIA or KLIA2 depending on their airline; Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (Subang) handles limited turboprop and regional flights and is rarely used for international arrivals."
