        "question": "Which cities in North Korea can I fly to from Seoul?",
        "answer": "There are currently no direct flights from Seoul to North Korea. The only practical gateway is Pyongyang's Sunan International Airport, reachable via Beijing on Air Koryo or Air China. Most travelers arrive on organized tours through Pyongyang."

      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from Seoul to North Korea?",
        "answer": "There are no scheduled commercial flights from Seoul to North Korea. In practice, travel between the two is not permitted via direct air routes, and any hypothetical journey would require routing through a third country like China, making flight times highly variable and impractical to estimate."
      },
      "q2": {
        "question": "Are there direct flights from Seoul to North Korea?",
        "answer": "There are no scheduled non-stop flights from Seoul to North Korea. The most common way to reach North Korea is via Beijing, where Air Koryo operates flights to Pyongyang. Total travel time including connection can vary widely but typically takes at least a full day."
      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "Which airlines fly from Seoul to North Korea?",
        "answer": "Air Koryo is the only airline flying from Seoul to North Korea, with non-stop flights to Pyongyang. No other carriers serve this route."
      },
      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from Seoul to North Korea?",
        "answer": "U.S. citizens must obtain a visa to enter North Korea, and tourism is strictly controlled. Travel is only possible through authorized tour operators, and a special validation from the U.S. Department of State may also be required. Rules are subject to change, so check current advisories before planning your trip."
