        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Tokyo to Hiroshima?",

      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Tokyo to Hiroshima?",
        "answer": "Yes, Japan Airlines (JL) and ANA (NH) both fly nonstop from Tokyo Haneda to Hiroshima, with flights running daily on each carrier. Together they offer about 238 weekly flights, with departures spread throughout the day from early morning through evening.",
        "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 Hiroshima?",
        "answer": "From Hiroshima Airport, the most convenient and popular way to reach the city center is the airport limousine bus, which takes about 45 minutes and runs frequently. Taxis are available but are relatively expensive for the 50-kilometer journey, while rental cars offer flexibility for exploring the region. There is no direct rail link to the airport, though you can take a bus to Shiraichi Station and connect to the JR Sanyo Line. Ride-sharing services are not widely available in Hiroshima, so public transit and taxis are your main options.",
