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.

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. Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled 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. 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. 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.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule", "route_airlines", "redeye_flights" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Sukhothai?", "answer": "From Sukhothai Airport, ground transportation to the city center is limited and not well documented; there is no dedicated mass transit, ride-share, or car rental service listed at the airport. Most travelers rely on pre-arranged hotel transfers or taxis, which are the most common and practical way to reach New Sukhothai or the historical park.

Common layover cities are Bangkok itself if considering a multi-stop journey, but since Sukhothai Airport has limited service, the most practical connection is via Bangkok Airways flights that stop in Lampang or Phitsanulok, though these are not major hubs.

Public buses and vans also run from various points, including Route S1 from Khao San Road and Route 552B from BTS On Nut, though they are slower and less frequent. Taxis are readily available and offer door-to-door convenience for a metered fare plus a 50-baht airport surcharge and tolls, while ride-share services like Grab and AOT Limousine provide similar comfort at a higher cost.
