        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Kuala Lumpur to Dhaka?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to Dhaka (DAC) typically takes about 3 hours and 45 minutes to 4 hours. With a layover, total travel time often ranges from 6 to 10 hours, depending on the connection city. The return flight is usually similar in duration."

      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Kuala Lumpur to Dhaka?",
        "answer": "Yes, several airlines fly non‑stop from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to Dhaka (DAC). Batik Air Malaysia (OD) operates up to 42 weekly flights, Malaysia Airlines (MH) runs 36, Biman Bangladesh (BG) and US‑Bangla Airlines (BS) each fly daily, and AirAsia (AK) flies five times a week on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. With five carriers and well over 90 weekly non‑stop departures, the route is served daily with multiple flights throughout the day.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "Yes, there are visa requirements for travel between Kuala Lumpur and Dhaka. If you are a Malaysian citizen, you need a visa to enter Bangladesh. You can obtain a visa on arrival at Dhaka if you meet certain conditions, such as having a return ticket and sufficient funds. If you are a Bangladeshi citizen, you need a visa to enter Malaysia. You may be eligible for an eVisa or visa on arrival depending on your purpose and length of stay. Always check the latest requirements before travel."

      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Dhaka?",
        "answer": "At Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, you can take a taxi from the official kiosk outside international arrivals, or use ride‑sharing apps like Uber, Pathao, Obhai, and Shohoz. The Airport Railway Station is right outside the terminal, with commuter trains to the city center, and the upcoming MRT Line 1 will eventually link the airport to the metro network. Taxis and ride‑sharing are the most‑used options because they offer door‑to‑door convenience on the 17‑km trip into town. The train is the fastest way to bypass traffic, while car rentals are available but far less common for getting into central Dhaka.",

        "question": "How do I get to Kuala Lumpur Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Kuala Lumpur, the fastest option is the KLIA Ekspres train from KL Sentral, which takes about 28 minutes nonstop; the KLIA Transit train is slightly slower and cheaper with intermediate stops. Airport shuttle buses and ride‑share services like Grab are also available, with buses being the most affordable but subject to traffic. Taxis are convenient but cost more than trains or buses, and driving with parking at the airport is possible but generally the least popular due to cost and distance.",
