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.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Seoul?", "answer": "Incheon Airport offers several ground transportation options to Seoul: taxis (standard, deluxe, and international), the Airport Railroad express and all-stop trains, and limousine buses with fares around 17,000 KRW for direct routes to Seoul.
