        "answer": "A direct flight from Iloilo (ILO) to Manila (MNL) typically takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Return flights are similar in duration. Multiple airlines operate this route with comparable flight times."
      },

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Iloilo to Manila?",
        "answer": "There are non‑stop flights from Iloilo (ILO) to Manila (MNL) on three airlines — Cebu Pacific (5J), AirAsia Philippines (Z2), and Philippine Airlines (PR) — all operating daily. Together they offer over 200 weekly non‑stop departures, with the first flight leaving just after midnight and service spread throughout the day.",

        "answer": "From Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), taxis and ride-share services like Grab are the most popular and convenient ways to reach central Manila, taking about 30–60 minutes depending on traffic. Metered yellow airport taxis and coupon taxis are available at designated ranks, while Grab can be booked via app from the arrivals area. Car rentals are offered at the airport, but driving in Manila’s heavy congestion is not recommended for visitors. There is no direct rail link from NAIA, though the P2P bus service connects to key city points and the LRT/MRT network. For the fastest trip, a taxi or Grab is typically best, while the P2P bus is the most economical option.",

Departures cluster between 21:05 and 23:50, and since the flight is short — roughly an hour — most land the same night before midnight; the latest departures around 23:45–23:50 arrive just after midnight in the early hours.",
        "methodology": "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.",

Cebu Pacific operates the most flights, with 73 weekly departures spread throughout the day, while AirAsia Philippines runs 74 weekly flights and Philippine Airlines offers 56.

        "question": "How do I get to Iloilo Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Iloilo City, taxis and ride‑share services like Grab offer the most direct door‑to‑door trip to Iloilo International Airport, taking about 30–40 minutes and costing the most. Public vans (UV Express) and jeepneys bound for Cabatuan or Santa Barbara are the cheapest option, but they require a transfer and take longer. There is no dedicated airport shuttle bus. Driving is straightforward via the Iloilo‑Cabatuan road, and the airport provides paid short‑term and long‑term parking.",
