        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Denpasar to Surabaya?",
        "answer": "A direct flight from Denpasar (DPS) to Surabaya (SUB) typically takes around 55 minutes to 1 hour. There are no significant differences in duration between airlines, and return flights are similar."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Denpasar to Surabaya?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct flights from Denpasar (DPS) to Surabaya (SUB). Five airlines operate non‑stop service — Citilink (QG), Lion Air (JT), Batik Air (ID), Super Air Jet (IU), and Garuda Indonesia (GA) — with a combined 64 weekly flights running daily. Departures are spread throughout the day from early morning (07:00) through late evening (20:30).",
        "methodology": "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. 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. 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. 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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Surabaya?",
        "answer": "Juanda Airport (SUB) is about 12 km from Surabaya city center, and the most common way to get there is by taxi, with official airport taxis available at fixed rates. Ride-hailing services like Grab and Gojek are widely used and often cheaper, though pickup points may be slightly outside the terminal. There is no direct rail link from the airport to the city; the nearest train station is in central Surabaya. Car rentals are available but are less popular for simple transfers. For most travelers, a ride-hailing car or taxi is the fastest and most practical option.",
