        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Bangkok to Shenzhen?",
        "answer": "The flight from Bangkok to Shenzhen covers about 1,060 miles and typically takes 2 hours and 55 minutes nonstop, with the return leg slightly longer at 3 hours. Multiple daily departures are available on China Southern, Shenzhen Airlines, and a weekly flight on Q2.",
        "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.",

Public buses and vans also serve the airport from several city points, and ride-share options like GRAB or metered taxis are widely available at a higher cost, with taxis adding a 50-baht airport surcharge plus tolls. Driving yourself is possible with rental cars and parking at the airport, though traffic can be heavy.",
