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.

Thai Airways runs two nightly departures around 12:40 AM and 1:00 AM, while Thai VietJet Air departs around 12:30 AM and 12:50 AM, with the flight taking roughly 5 hours and 25 minutes.

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. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.", "toolsUsed": [ "route_airlines", "flight_schedule" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Fukuoka?", "answer": "Fukuoka Airport is extremely close to the city center — just 3 km (about 1.8 miles) from Hakata Station — and the most-used option is the Fukuoka City Subway, whose Airport Line runs directly from the domestic terminal to Hakata and Tenjin in about 10 minutes for ¥200-340. Note that the subway station is at the domestic terminal; if you land at the international terminal, you'll need a short free inter-terminal shuttle bus to reach it.

Public buses and vans serve the airport from various city points, including routes to Khao San Road and On Nut BTS, though they are slower and subject to traffic. Metered taxis are available on Level 1 between gates 4 and 7, with a 50-baht airport surcharge, and ride-share services like Grab also operate.
