        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Tokyo to Beijing?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Tokyo Haneda (HND) to Beijing Daxing (PKX) typically takes between 3 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours. Flights with one stop, often via Seoul (ICN) or Shanghai (PVG), usually take 6 to 9 hours total. The westbound flight is often slightly shorter than the eastbound return due to prevailing winds."
      },
      "q2": {
        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Tokyo to Beijing?",
        "answer": "Yes, visa requirements apply for travel between Tokyo and Beijing depending on nationality. If you are a Japanese citizen, you can enter China visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism, business, or transit under a policy effective from November 30, 2024, to December 31, 2025. If you are a Chinese citizen, you need a visa to enter Japan. Travelers of other nationalities should check specific requirements for both countries."
      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Beijing?",
        "answer": "From Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX), the fastest and most-used option to reach central Beijing is the Daxing Airport Express subway line, which whisks you to Caoqiao station in about 19 minutes for ¥35, with easy transfers to the rest of the subway network. High-speed intercity trains from the airport's underground station also serve Beijing West and other cities, though they are less frequent for downtown access. Taxis and ride-hailing services like Didi are readily available and offer door-to-door convenience, but take around an hour and cost significantly more (roughly ¥200–300). Airport shuttle buses cover major hotels and transport hubs at lower cost, though schedules can be limited. Car rentals are possible but not recommended for visitors due to traffic and complex driving regulations in the city.",

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.

      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Beijing?",
        "answer": "Beijing has two major airports: Capital (PEK) and Daxing (PKX). Capital is closer to the city centre and major attractions, and serves as a hub for Air China and Star Alliance carriers, ideal for most international travellers. Daxing is newer, located further south, and is a hub for China Southern and SkyTeam, offering modern facilities and growing international routes."

        "question": "Are there hotels or sleeping facilities at Beijing airport?",
