        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Kinmen Island to Taichung?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Kinmen (KNH) to Taichung (RMQ) typically takes about 1 hour. This is a domestic route within Taiwan, and flight durations are generally the same in both directions."

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Kinmen Island to Taichung?",
        "answer": "Yes, direct flights from Kinmen Island (KNH) to Taichung (RMQ) operate daily on two Taiwanese carriers: Uni Air (B7) and Mandarin Airlines (AE). Uni Air runs about 14 departures per day and Mandarin Airlines about 6, giving roughly 20 non‑stop flights daily in total.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Taichung?",
        "answer": "From Taichung Airport, taxis and ride-hailing services are the most common and direct way to reach the city center, taking about 30–40 minutes depending on traffic. Public buses also serve the airport, with several routes connecting to downtown Taichung and the high-speed rail station, but they are slower and less frequent than taxis. There is no MRT or light rail link from the airport; the nearest mass transit option requires a bus transfer to the Taichung MRT Green Line. Car rentals are available at the airport for those who prefer to drive. Taxis are the most used option for their convenience and door-to-door service.",

        "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": "How do I get to Kinmen Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Kinmen Airport is about 9 km southeast of Jincheng, the main town. Public buses (routes like the blue 1 or red 1) connect the city center to the airport roughly every 30–60 minutes and are the most popular budget option. Taxis are readily available and offer a faster, door‑to‑door ride; ride‑share apps are not common on the island. Driving is possible with a short trip and parking at the terminal, but most visitors simply take a taxi or the bus.",
