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.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Tokyo?", "answer": "From Tokyo Narita, you can reach central Tokyo by fixed-fare taxi, express bus, low-cost bus, or rail.
