        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Kota Bharu to Johor Bahru?",
        "answer": "A direct flight from Kota Bharu (KBR) to Johor Bahru (JHB) takes about 1 hour 10 minutes. Flights with a layover, most often via Kuala Lumpur, typically take 3 to 5 hours total travel time including the stop."

      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Kota Bharu to Johor Bahru?",
        "answer": "AirAsia flies nonstop from Kota Bharu to Johor Bahru, with six weekly flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays — two departures each of those days, typically around 2:00 PM and 7:50 PM, on Airbus A320 aircraft. No other airline offers a nonstop on this route.",
        "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. 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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Johor Bahru?",
        "answer": "Johor Bahru's Senai International Airport (JHB) is about 30 km from the city center, with taxis and ride‑sharing services like Grab being the most popular and convenient options; a trip takes around 30 minutes and costs roughly MYR 45–60. Public buses (Causeway Link and Maju) also run to JB Sentral and Larkin, but they are slower and less frequent, making them a secondary choice. Car rentals are available at the terminal, though they are rarely the most practical for a short stay. There is no rail link from the airport, so taxis and Grab are the fastest and most‑used way to reach downtown.",

        "answer": "No overnight (red‑eye) flights are available from Kota Bharu (KBR) to Johor Bahru (JHB) — there are no nonstop red‑eyes on this route, and no connecting itineraries with a red‑eye long leg were found.",
        "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.",

        "question": "What aircraft are typically used on flights from Kota Bharu to Johor Bahru?",
        "answer": "On the nonstop flights between Kota Bharu and Johor Bahru, the typical aircraft is the Airbus A320-100 operated by AirAsia (AK), with six weekly flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. For connecting itineraries, the most common aircraft on the longer leg include the Airbus A320-200 Neo and Boeing 737-800, often via Kuala Lumpur (KUL) with AirAsia, Malindo Air (OD), or Malaysia Airlines (MH), though the exact aircraft can vary by day and airline. Wi-Fi and seatback entertainment are widely available on many modern narrowbody jets, but availability depends on the specific airline and aircraft.",
