        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Tokyo to Iwakuni?",
        "answer": "The flight from Tokyo to Iwakuni covers about 440 miles and typically takes 1 hour 40 minutes nonstop. The return leg is slightly shorter at 1 hour 30 minutes.",
        "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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Iwakuni?",
        "answer": "Iwakuni is served by Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, which has a civilian passenger terminal but no dedicated airport rail link; the main ground transportation options are taxis, local buses, and rental cars. The fastest and most reliable way to reach the city center is by taxi, which takes about 5–10 minutes to Iwakuni Station or central Iwakuni. Local buses also connect the airport area to Iwakuni Station and the Kintai Bridge, though service is less frequent than in larger Japanese cities. Ride share services like Uber are not widely available in Iwakuni, and mass transit options are limited to infrequent local buses rather than a subway or tram system. Most travelers use taxis or pre-arranged rental cars, as they offer the most direct access to the city and surrounding attractions.",

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Haneda Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Reaching Haneda Airport from central Tokyo is easiest by train: the Keikyu Line and the Tokyo Monorail both connect directly to the terminals, with the monorail running since 1964 and the Keikyu offering frequent service. Airport limousine buses also serve Haneda from major points across Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, and Saitama. Taxis and ride-share are available but are the most expensive option, while driving and parking at the airport is possible though often congested during peak periods. Public transit, especially the train and monorail, is the fastest and most popular choice for most travelers.",
