        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Iloilo to Cebu?",
        "answer": "Flights from Iloilo to Cebu cover about 110 miles and typically take 50 minutes nonstop, with the return leg slightly longer at 55 minutes. Multiple airlines serve the route daily, including Cebgo, Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and AirAsia Philippines, offering frequent departures throughout the day.",
        "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). 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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Cebu?",
        "answer": "From Mactan–Cebu International Airport, the most used option is a taxi: there are about 6,000 taxis across Cebu, with a flag-down of ₱40 plus ₱13.50 per kilometer. Ride-share apps Grab and MiCab also operate in Cebu, and the MyBus public bus connects the airport to Mandaue, Talisay, and Cebu City. Jeepneys are the most popular public transport in the city itself, while motorcycle taxis (habal-habal) are common for beating traffic, and car rentals are available though not a primary mode for airport transfers. A dedicated mass transit system is still under construction, so the fastest and most convenient airport-to-city option is generally a taxi or ride-share.",

Cebgo (DG) operates a daily red‑eye departing at 10:15 PM, and Cebu Pacific (5J) runs one four nights a week (Tue/Thu/Sat/Sun) departing at 11:40 PM. Both flights are short hops, so they land the same night.",
        "methodology": "Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes — flagging services that depart late at night and arrive the following morning; for connecting itineraries the red-eye is based on the timing of the overnight long-haul leg.",

Philippine Airlines runs about 35 flights a week, Cebu Pacific 18, Cebgo 14, and AirAsia Philippines 4 on select days. Typical per‑carrier fares aren’t available for this route, but the schedule shows daily service from the first three carriers and near‑daily from AirAsia.",
        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies 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). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports.

        "answer": "As a domestic route, direct flights are common, but if you need a connection, Manila and Clark are typical layover cities. Manila offers the most frequent connections, while Clark can sometimes provide a quicker transfer due to its smaller size."
      },

        "question": "Which months have the best weather for traveling to Cebu?",
        "answer": "December to May is the dry season with sunny skies and low humidity, ideal for beach trips and sightseeing. Avoid the rainy months from June to November."

        "question": "What documents should I bring with me to the airport when flying from Iloilo to Cebu?",
        "answer": "As this is a domestic flight within the Philippines, you need a valid government-issued ID like a passport, driver’s license, or national ID, a payment method for any baggage fees, and proof of onward or return travel if required by the airline; vaccination certificates are not currently mandated."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Cebu?",
        "answer": "Mactan–Cebu International Airport is the only airport serving Cebu. It is located on Mactan Island, about 30 minutes from downtown Cebu City and close to beach resorts."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Iloilo Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "To reach Iloilo International Airport from the city center, taxis and ride-share services offer the most direct and convenient option, taking about 30–45 minutes via Sen. Benigno S. Aquino Jr. Avenue (Diversion Road). Public utility vans and shuttle buses also serve the airport from various points in the city, though schedules can be less frequent. Driving yourself is possible with parking available at the terminal, but traffic on Diversion Road can add time. Taxis or ride-share are generally the most popular choice for travelers with luggage, while vans and shuttles are a more budget-friendly alternative.",
