        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Kaohsiung (KHH) to Hong Kong (HKG) typically takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Across these five carriers, there are up to 22 departures each day, with flights spread from early morning to late evening.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Hong Kong?",

Public buses also serve all of Hong Kong, while taxis provide a flexible door-to-door option. There is no mention of ride-sharing or car rentals as primary modes, and the Airport Express is the most used and efficient choice for most travelers.",

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.",

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Kaohsiung Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Kaohsiung, the most popular and fastest option is the Kaohsiung MRT Red Line, which takes about 20 minutes from Formosa Boulevard Station to Kaohsiung International Airport Station. City buses and shuttle buses also serve the airport, though they are slower and less frequent. Taxis and ride‑share services are widely available and offer a door‑to‑door trip in roughly 15–25 minutes, but cost more than the MRT. Driving and parking at the airport is possible, with both short‑term and long‑term parking lots, though traffic can add time.",
