        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Seoul to Yangon?",
        "answer": "The flight from Seoul to Yangon is about 2,330 miles and typically takes 6 hours nonstop. On the return, the flight is about 5 hours 45 minutes, a difference of 15 minutes due to prevailing winds.",
        "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": "Are there any direct flights from Seoul to Yangon?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are non‑stop flights from Seoul Incheon to Yangon. Two carriers operate the route: Myanmar Airways International (8M) flies four times a week — Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday — departing at 16:05, while Korean Air (KE) runs a single weekly flight on Mondays at 17:15. The flight takes about 6 hours each way.",
        "methodology": "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. Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). 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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Yangon?",
        "answer": "Taxis are the most common way from Yangon International Airport to the city center, with a journey of roughly 45–60 minutes depending on traffic. A dedicated Yangon Bus Service (YBS) airport shuttle runs between the airport and Yangon Central Railway Station, stopping at 13 points including Sule Pagoda and 8 Mile, while the circular railway also serves Mingaladon station near the airport for commuter rail access. Ride-share apps and formal car rental counters are limited or unreliable at the airport. The YBS shuttle is the cheapest air-conditioned option, but taxis remain the most-used and generally most reliable choice for visitors.",

One option departs ICN at 23:50 on Singapore Airlines, arriving in Singapore at 05:00, then connects to Yangon. Another departs ICN at 21:00 on Asiana Airlines, arriving in Guangzhou at 00:05, then connects onward.",

        "answer": "You can reach Incheon International Airport from central Seoul via the Airport Railroad (AREX) express or all-stop train, which is the fastest and most popular option, or by comfortable airport limousine buses that stop throughout the city and cost about the same as a standard taxi. Taxis are available but pricier, with a night surcharge of 20–40% between 10 PM and 4 AM, and ride-share services are limited; driving and parking at the airport is possible but generally the least convenient for international departures due to cost and distance.",
