        "answer": "The flight from Shizuoka to Seoul is about 680 miles, with a typical nonstop duration of 2 hours 15 minutes. Return flights also take about 2 hours 15 minutes.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "From Incheon International Airport to Seoul city center, the most-used option is the Airport Railroad (AREX) train, which is fast and reliable. Airport limousine buses are also popular, with adult fares around 17,000 KRW for direct routes from Seoul to the airport. Taxis are available, including standard, deluxe/jumbo, and international taxis with flat fares in Seoul, though they are subject to night and boundary surcharges. Ride share services are not widely used in Korea; car rentals are available but less common for city-center trips. The Airport Railroad is generally the fastest and most popular choice for most travelers.",

        "question": "How do I get to Mount Fuji Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From central Shizuoka, the most popular way to reach Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport is the direct airport shuttle bus from Shizuoka Station, which takes about 25 minutes. Public buses also run from Shimada Station and Kanaya Station, with the closest rail link being Kanaya Station about 6 km away. Taxis to Shizuoka Station cost a fixed 8,500 yen, and driving is convenient with free parking for 2,000 cars at the airport. The shuttle bus is generally the fastest and most commonly used option for city-center travelers.",
