        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Hiroshima to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "The flight from Hiroshima to Tokyo covers about 400 miles. The typical nonstop flight time is 1 hour 25 minutes in both directions, with no meaningful difference between the outbound and return legs.",
        "methodology": "Flight times and distances come 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). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.",

      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Hiroshima to Tokyo?",
        "answer": "Yes, Japan Airlines and ANA fly nonstop from Hiroshima to Tokyo Haneda. Japan Airlines operates up to 162 weekly flights and ANA up to 91, both with daily departures throughout the day. The flight takes about 80 to 85 minutes.",
        "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. Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Tokyo?",
        "answer": "From Haneda Airport, the most practical and widely used way into central Tokyo is rail, with the Keikyu Line and the Tokyo Monorail offering frequent, reliable service to major stations. Airport limousine buses also connect Haneda to key districts across Tokyo and surrounding prefectures, providing a comfortable alternative especially with luggage. Taxis and rental cars are available but are less used for city-center trips due to cost and traffic. The Tokyo Monorail is the fastest rail option to Hamamatsucho, while the Keikyu Line offers direct access to Shinagawa and through-service onto the Asakusa and Keikyu main lines.",

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Hiroshima Intl from the city center?",
        "answer": "The most popular way to reach Hiroshima Airport from downtown is the airport limousine bus, which departs from the Hiroshima Bus Center and takes about 53 minutes, or from Hiroshima Station in about 45 minutes, though it can be delayed by traffic. There is no rail link to the airport, so public transit relies on buses; taxis and driving are also options, with the airport located about 50 km east of the city near the San'yō Expressway, and parking available at the terminal. The bus is generally the fastest and most convenient choice for most travelers, while taxis offer door-to-door service at a higher cost.",

Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.",
