The return leg is shorter at 5 hours, with the westbound journey back to Chongqing taking 20 minutes longer due to prevailing winds.", "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).

Taxis and ride-hailing apps like Grab, Gojek, Zig, and Tada offer direct point-to-point service, with taxi rides to the city center taking roughly 20 to 30 minutes. Public buses serve all terminals, though they are slower, and private car rentals are available but less practical given Singapore's high vehicle costs.
