        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Tokyo Haneda (HND) to Asahikawa (AKJ) typically takes about 1 hour and 35 minutes.

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Tokyo to Asahikawa?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct flights from Tokyo Haneda (HND) to Asahikawa (AKJ).

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. 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.",

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Haneda Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From central Tokyo, the fastest and most popular way to reach Haneda Airport is the Keikyu Line train, taking about 13–20 minutes from Shinagawa Station. Limousine buses serve major hotels and stations across the city, offering a convenient door‑to‑door option at a moderate cost. Taxis and ride‑share services provide a direct but more expensive journey, especially during late‑night hours when trains are not running. Driving is also possible, with parking available at the airport, but it is generally the most costly and least convenient choice due to traffic and high parking fees.",
