      },
      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Gwangju to Korea?",
        "answer": "For the short domestic hop from Gwangju to Seoul, booking about 4–6 weeks ahead is a practical window — it's a high-frequency route with steady fares, so there's little benefit to booking much earlier, though peak holiday periods like Lunar New Year and Chuseok can fill up faster.",
        "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."

For the widest long-haul connections, Incheon near Seoul is the main hub with extensive train links. Gimhae in Busan works for southeastern Korea and coastal regions."

        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Korea?",

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Gwangju Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Gwangju Airport is directly served by Gwangju Metro Line 1 at Airport station, about 300 meters from the terminal, making the subway the most popular and inexpensive option from the city center. Several city buses (Songjeong 97, Seonun 101, 1000, and 1160 to Naju) also connect the airport to Gwangju Songjeong Station, the convention center, city hall, and the main bus terminal. Taxis are readily available and faster than buses or the metro for door-to-door service, though they cost more, and ride‑share apps are not widely used in Gwangju. Driving is possible with short‑term parking at the airport, but the metro remains the fastest and most reliable choice for most travelers.",
