        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Seoul to Yangon?",
        "answer": "Yes, two carriers fly nonstop from Seoul Incheon to Yangon: Myanmar Airways International (8M) operates four times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, departing at 16:05, while Korean Air (KE) runs a single weekly flight on Mondays at 17:15. Service is not daily — it runs five days a week in total, with no flights on Wednesdays or Saturdays.",
        "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. 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.",

Taxis and ride‑share are available door‑to‑door but are the priciest option, and driving yourself means using the airport’s long‑term parking lots.",

        "answer": "The only nonstop aircraft on the Seoul–Yangon route is the Airbus A319 Ceo, operated by Myanmar Airways International (8M). Most connecting itineraries route through Bangkok, where the long leg is typically a Boeing 787-9, 787-8, or Airbus A350-900 on Thai Airways, or a Boeing 737 on Thai VietJet Air, paired with a short connecting hop on an Airbus A320-family or Boeing 737-800. Other one-stop options occasionally appear via Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City, Kuala Lumpur, Guangzhou, or Vientiane, using a mix of widebody and narrowbody jets like the Boeing 787, Airbus A350-900, A330, or A321neo — so the exact aircraft can vary by airline and day.",
