        "question": "If I need a connection, what are common layover cities between Kuching and Mukah?",
        "answer": "There are no common connecting hubs for this short domestic route. The only practical option is the direct flight operated by MASwings, which takes about 55 minutes. Connections via other cities would significantly increase travel time and are not competitive."

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Mukah?",
        "answer": "Mukah has only one airport, Mukah Airport (MKM), which is located about 2 km from the town centre and serves domestic flights."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Kuching Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Getting from Kuching city center to Kuching International Airport (KCH) is easiest by taxi or ride-share, which is the fastest and most popular option for the roughly 11 km (6.8 mile) journey south of downtown. Public buses serve the airport via the Kuching Sentral bus terminal, but they are less frequent and slower than a private ride. Driving yourself is also possible, with airport parking available at the terminal, though it's generally more expensive than taking a taxi. A future Autonomous Rapid Transit (ART) line is planned to connect the airport to the city, but it is not yet operational.",

        "question": "Are there accessible services or children's facilities at the Kuching and Mukah airports?",
        "answer": "Kuching International Airport (KCH) provides standard passenger facilities including wheelchair assistance and accessible restrooms, though specific details on children's play areas or dedicated disability programs are not clearly documented; travelers requiring mobility help should contact the airline or airport at least 48 hours before departure. Mukah Airport (MKM) has limited publicly available accessibility information, but as a smaller regional airport it typically offers basic assistance on request through the operating airline or airport staff. It is advisable to arrange wheelchair or special assistance directly with the airline when booking, as advance notice of 48 hours or more is generally required for smoother service.",
