        "question": "How do I get to Minangkabau Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Minangkabau International Airport, about 23 km northwest of Padang city center, is reachable by the Minangkabau Express airport train from Padang Station, which is the fastest and most popular option, with fares around IDR 10,000 for the full airport run. Metered taxis are available at the airport and recommended to avoid scams, though their operating hours are roughly 07:00 to 22:30, and a public bus service also connects the city to the airport. Driving and parking are possible with ample parking space at the terminal, but the train avoids frequent traffic congestion on the road and is generally the most economical and reliable choice.",
