        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Bacolod to Davao?",
        "answer": "The flight from Bacolod to Davao is about 310 miles and typically takes 1 hour 20 minutes nonstop on Cebu Pacific. The return leg is also around 1 hour 20 minutes, so there is no meaningful difference between directions.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "From Francisco Bangoy International Airport (DVO), taxis are readily available and are the most-used option for reaching central Davao, taking about 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. Ride-hailing services like Grab also operate at the airport and are generally considered comfortable and reliable, though availability can fluctuate. There is no direct mass transit link from the terminal to the city center at present — the planned Davao Bus Project (DPTMP) includes an airport feeder route (101: San Isidro ↔ Francisco Bangoy International Airport) and a future M2 metro line, but these are not yet operational, with bus pilot service slated for 2027. Car rentals are available at the airport, though driving yourself is less common for short visits given local traffic norms. Taxis remain the fastest and most straightforward door-to-door option for most travelers.",

The newly completed access road connecting the airport to Barangay Bata in Bacolod makes driving or taking a taxi direct, with on-site parking for up to 350 cars. Shuttle PUVs are the most popular and economical choice, while taxis or a private car are fastest but cost more.",
