        "answer": "Shenyang Taoxian International Airport is about 20 km south of the city center. The airport is served by Shenyang Modern Tram lines 2 and 6, which connect directly to the city, with fares of 2–4 yuan depending on distance. Taxis are also available and are the most commonly used option for door-to-door travel, while the tram is the fastest fixed-guideway link to the metro network. Car rentals are limited and ride-share services operate through local apps like Didi.",

        "question": "How do I get to Los Angeles Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Getting from downtown Los Angeles to LAX is easiest via the FlyAway bus, which runs every 15 minutes from Union Station directly to the terminals and is the most popular option for its convenience and low cost. Public transit is also available by taking the Metro C or K Line to the LAX/Metro Transit Center and then a free shuttle to the terminals. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, along with taxis, offer door-to-door service but are more expensive and can be slow during traffic. Driving and parking at LAX is possible but generally the least economical choice, especially for longer stays, due to high parking fees.",

Other common long-haul aircraft on this route include the Boeing 787-9 via Beijing or Shanghai on United, the Airbus A350-900 via Chengdu or Seoul on Sichuan Airlines and Asiana, and the Airbus A380-800 via Seoul on Asiana.",

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. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price. 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.",
