        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Kuching (KCH) to Mukah (MKM) typically takes about 50 minutes. MASwings operates this route with a direct flight. There are no common layover options, as the distance is very short."

      "q8": {
        "question": "If I need a connection, what are common layover cities between Kuching and Mukah?",
        "answer": "This route is entirely domestic, so visa‑free transit is irrelevant. Common layover points are Sibu and Miri, with Sibu offering the shortest total travel time due to its proximity and frequent MASwings flights."

        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Kuching to Mukah?",
        "answer": "On this short domestic hop, reliability is generally good, though weather can cause occasional delays. Early morning flights with MASwings tend to have the best on‑time record."

        "question": "Which months have the best weather for traveling to Mukah?",
        "answer": "The best months to visit Mukah are June to August, when rainfall is lower and humidity is slightly less oppressive, making outdoor exploration more comfortable and avoiding the peak monsoon seasons."
      },
      "q11": {
        "question": "What documents should I bring with me to the airport when flying from Kuching to Mukah?",
        "answer": "For this domestic Malaysia flight, bring your national ID (MyKad) or passport. No visa, travel authorization, or vaccination certificate is required. Carry a payment method for baggage and, if needed, proof of onward travel."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Mukah?",
        "answer": "Mukah has only one airport, Mukah Airport, which serves the town and is located about 7 km from the city centre. It primarily handles domestic flights operated by MASwings, connecting to Kuching, Miri, and other Sarawak destinations. The airport is small and convenient for regional travel, with no international services."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Kuching Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Kuching, the most popular and budget-friendly way to reach Kuching International Airport is the free Kuching Metro electric bus (Route 103), which runs from the Open Air Market terminal to the airport and beyond. Taxis and ride‑share services are also available and offer a faster, door‑to‑door trip at a higher cost. Driving yourself is an option with parking at the airport, but the free bus is the most convenient choice for most travelers.",
