        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Johor Bahru to Kuah?",
        "answer": "The flight from Johor Bahru to Kuah is about 420 miles and takes roughly 1 hour 15 minutes nonstop. Return flights take the same time.",
        "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 Johor Bahru to Kuah?",
        "answer": "AirAsia flies nonstop from Johor Bahru to Langkawi, with six weekly flights on Mondays, Fridays, and Sundays. Departures are at 12:10, 13:25, and 15:40, and the flight takes about 1 hour 15 minutes.",
        "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 Kuah?",
        "answer": "From Langkawi Airport (LGK), the primary way to reach Kuah is by airport taxi using a fixed-rate coupon system; you buy a coupon at the counter near Door 4 of the terminal and the fare is set by destination, with the ride taking roughly 30–35 minutes for the 25 km journey. Taxis are the most-used and most reliable option, as there is no rail or public bus service directly from the airport to Kuah. Ride-sharing apps operate on the island but are not officially endorsed at the airport, and car rental desks are available for those who prefer to drive themselves. For most travelers, the coupon taxi is the fastest and simplest choice.",

        "question": "How do I get to Johor Bahru from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Johor Bahru, the most popular and direct public option is the Causeway Link airport shuttle bus, which departs from JB Sentral and reaches Senai International Airport in about 45 minutes in good traffic; tickets are sold at the Causeway Link counter inside the Aeromall or online. Taxis and ride-share services are available and offer a faster, door-to-door alternative, though they cost more than the bus. Driving yourself is possible via GPS coordinates 1.638138° N, 103.665623° E, with on-site parking and car rental counters (Hertz, Avis, Europcar, and others) if you need a vehicle. There is no rail link directly to the airport, so the shuttle bus is generally the best balance of cost and convenience for most travelers.",

Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated.
