        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Gwangju to Jeju Island?",
        "answer": "The flight from Gwangju to Jeju Island is about 110 miles and typically takes 55 minutes. The return flight also takes about 55 minutes, so there is no meaningful difference in duration between the two directions.",
        "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, non‑stop flights from Gwangju (KWJ) to Jeju Island (CJU) operate daily on four airlines: Korean Air (KE), Asiana Airlines (OZ), Jeju Air (7C), and Jin Air (LJ). Together they offer around 21 departures a day — Korean Air flies up to 8 times daily, Asiana up to 7, and Jeju Air and Jin Air each run about 3 daily flights. The hop takes roughly 55 minutes, with Boeing 737-800 and 737-900 aircraft on the route.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Jeju Island?",
        "answer": "Jeju International Airport (CJU) sits right in Jeju City, so the airport is essentially at the edge of the city center rather than far outside it. The island's road network is centered on the city, and various public buses connect the airport to downtown and across the island, with a bus ride from Jeju City to Seogwipo taking about an hour. Taxis are readily available and are the fastest door-to-door option for the short hop into central Jeju, while car rentals are popular for exploring the island beyond the city. There is no subway or rail system on the island, and ride-share services like Uber are not widely established. Buses are the most-used and most economical way to get around, while taxis are the quickest for airport-to-city transfers.",

Taxis are readily available and offer a quicker but more expensive door-to-door alternative, while ride-share services are limited in Gwangju. Driving is possible with on-site parking, though spaces can be limited and the airport shares its site with a military base, so public transit is usually the more convenient choice.",
