        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Lawas to Miri?",
        "answer": "Direct flights from Lawas to Miri take about 35 to 40 minutes. There are no common layover options because the distance is very short, and flying via another city would take at least 2.5 to 3 hours. MASwings operates this route with similar flight times in both directions."
      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Miri?",
        "answer": "From Miri Airport, taxis are the most straightforward and commonly used option, with a fixed fare to the city center (around RM26-30) from a counter outside arrivals. Ride-sharing services like Grab operate in Miri and offer a convenient, often cheaper alternative. The free Miri City Smart Bus network serves the city but does not have a direct stop at the airport; you would need to reach a bus terminal first, making it impractical for airport transfers. Car rental desks are available in the terminal if you prefer to drive. Taxis or Grab are the fastest and most used for the 9.5 km trip.",

      "q9": {
        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Lawas to Miri?",
