        "question": "Which cities in Australia can I fly to from Launceston?",

      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from Launceston to Australia?",
        "answer": "Launceston is already in Australia, so flying from Launceston to another Australian city is a domestic trip. Non-stop flights from Launceston to Melbourne take about 1 hour and 10 minutes, while flights to Sydney typically require a connection and take around 3 hours total. Flight times can vary slightly due to wind but are generally similar in both directions."
      },
      "q2": {
        "question": "Are there direct flights from Launceston to Australia?",

There are non-stop flights from Launceston to several major cities including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Adelaide. Airlines operating these routes include Qantas, Virgin Australia, and Jetstar. Flight times are typically around 1 hour to Melbourne and 1.5 to 2 hours to Sydney."

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Australia?",
        "answer": "Since you're already in Australia, consider traveling during spring (September to November) or autumn (March to May) for milder weather and fewer crowds across popular destinations like Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Summer (December to February) is peak season, especially along the coast, with higher prices and larger crowds."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Launceston Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Launceston Airport is about 15 km from the city centre, and there is no public bus service directly to the terminal — the closest bus stop is a 34-minute walk away on Hobart Road. Taxis and Uber are available from in front of the terminal, and three private shuttle operators run transfers between the airport, Launceston, and nearby towns. Driving yourself is the most common option, with short-stay, long-stay, and premium undercover parking on site. A planned SkyBus service from the CBD has been announced but is not yet operating.",
