        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Kaohsiung to Seoul?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Kaohsiung to Seoul covers about 1,090 miles and typically takes 2 hours 55 minutes. Flying back, the return leg is a bit longer at 3 hours 10 minutes due to prevailing winds. EVA Air, China Airlines, and T'way Air all operate daily nonstop service on this route.",
        "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": "Yes, there are nonstop flights from Kaohsiung (KHH) to Seoul Incheon (ICN). Three airlines operate daily nonstop service: EVA Air (BR) with two daily departures, China Airlines (CI) with one daily departure, and T'way Air (TW) with one daily departure. The flight takes about 2 hours 50 minutes to 2 hours 55 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. 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.",

The Airport Railroad is the fastest rail option, while the limousine bus is convenient for those near bus terminals, with direct fares to Seoul around 17,000 KRW. Taxis are available with base fares from 4,800 KRW (standard) and 7,000 KRW (deluxe), plus night surcharges of 20–40% after 22:00. The most used modes are the Airport Railroad and limousine buses, with the railroad generally fastest to central Seoul.
