        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Cebu to Iloilo?",
        "answer": "The flight from Cebu to Iloilo covers about 110 miles. Nonstop flights typically take 55 minutes, with the return leg averaging 50 minutes—a small difference driven by prevailing winds. Several airlines operate this short hop, including Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines, and others, with frequent daily departures.",
        "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 Iloilo?",
        "answer": "Iloilo International Airport is about 24 kilometers (15 miles) northwest of Iloilo City proper, and road access is via Sen. Benigno S. Aquino Jr. Avenue, a major 8-lane highway with a protected bike lane and service road that connects the airport to the city. Taxis and ride-hailing services are the most common and reliable ways to reach the city center, with metered taxis readily available at the terminal. Public jeepneys and multicabs serve the route but are slower and less comfortable, while car rentals are available at the airport for those wanting flexibility. The fastest option is a taxi or ride-hailing car, typically taking 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, and taxis are the most used by travelers.",

        "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.",

        "answer": "Direct flights are widely available and fastest, but if you need a connection, common layovers include Manila and Davao. Manila offers the most frequent onward flights, while Davao can provide a shorter total travel time on some itineraries. Both are domestic hubs with straightforward transfers and no visa requirements."

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Mactan Cebu Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Cebu City, the most direct public option is the MyBus airport route, which runs from SM City Cebu through Mandaue to Mactan–Cebu International Airport. Taxis are widely available and reasonably priced, while ride-hailing apps like Grab and MiCab operate throughout the city. Driving yourself is possible with parking at the airport, but traffic on the bridges to Mactan Island can be heavy, so taxis or ride-share are often the fastest and most popular choices.",
