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. 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).

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.

Nationals of other countries should check Japan's visa policy based on their citizenship; many can enter visa‑free, while others must obtain a visa in advance. For travel back from Tokyo to Kaohsiung, the same rules apply in reverse: Taiwanese and Japanese citizens enjoy mutual visa‑free access, and other nationals must meet Taiwan's entry requirements." }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Tokyo?", "answer": "From Narita Airport, the fastest way to central Tokyo is the Narita Express (N'EX) train, taking about 55 minutes to Tokyo Station, while the Keisei Skyliner offers a similar speed to Ueno. Buses provide a cheaper, direct option to major hotels and districts, and taxis are available but very expensive for the 60–70 km journey. Rental cars are offered at the airport, though driving in Tokyo is not recommended for visitors due to congestion and complex roads.
