        "methodology": "Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price. The typical price, the lowest fare, a 'great deal' threshold, and how fares are spread across price bands are summarized from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, with a small fraction of extreme outlier fares excluded from the range."

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Ninoy Aquino Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Manila, the most popular way to reach Ninoy Aquino International Airport is by taxi or ride‑share (Grab), which offer door‑to‑door convenience but can be slowed by heavy traffic. Airport‑dedicated shuttle buses and public buses/jeepneys serve the airport, and the LRT‑1 Ninoy Aquino Avenue station opened in late 2024, though it still requires a short road transfer to the terminals. Driving yourself is possible via the NAIA Expressway and nearby roads, with on‑site parking available, but congestion makes this the least predictable option. Public transit is the cheapest, while taxis and ride‑share cost more but are generally the fastest and most comfortable for travelers with luggage.",
