        "answer": "From Incheon Airport (ICN) to central Seoul, the fastest and most-used option is the AREX express train, which reaches Seoul Station in about 43–51 minutes. Comfortable airport limousine buses serve many city districts and are a popular alternative, especially for door-to-door convenience near major hotels. Regular taxis and international ride-hailing apps are readily available at the terminals, while car rentals are possible but rarely chosen given Seoul’s excellent public transit. The express train is the top choice for speed and reliability.",

        "question": "How do I get to Lien Khuong Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Lien Khuong Airport is about 30 km south of Da Lat, and the most popular way to reach it is by taxi or ride‑share, which is the fastest option.
