        "question": "How long is the flight from Seoul to Korea?",
        "answer": "Flights from Seoul to other Korean cities like Busan or Jeju are domestic and very short. A non-stop flight from Seoul to Busan takes about 1 hour, while Seoul to Jeju is roughly 1 hour 10 minutes. There are no one-stop options on these routes since they are direct domestic connections."
      },
      "q2": {
        "question": "Are there direct flights from Seoul to Korea?",
        "answer": "Seoul is the capital of Korea, so you are already in the country. Domestic flights connect Seoul (Gimpo Airport) to cities like Busan and Jeju, with short flight times of about one hour. You do not need international non-stop flights."
      },
      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Seoul to Korea?",
        "answer": "Flights from Seoul to Jeju are generally cheapest outside of peak summer (July–August), Chuseok, and the Lunar New Year holiday, with late autumn and winter offering the lowest fares. Booking a few weeks ahead and flying midweek, especially on Tuesday or Wednesday, tends to beat weekend pricing, and early-morning or late-evening departures are usually more affordable than midday and Friday-afternoon flights.",
        "methodology": "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. 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."

        "question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in Korea?",
        "answer": "In Korea, Seoul is the main gateway and cultural hub, Busan offers beaches and markets, Gyeongju showcases ancient history and Jeju Island attracts nature lovers. All are linked by fast trains or short flights."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Korea?",
        "answer": "For Korea, mid‑March to May and September to mid‑November offer mild weather and fewer crowds than the hot, humid summer, especially in Seoul and Busan."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Incheon Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Seoul, the fastest and most popular way to Incheon International Airport is the Airport Railroad (AREX) express train, which offers a quick direct link to the terminals. Airport limousine buses are a convenient alternative with direct service from many city stops and cost roughly 17,000 KRW per adult for a direct Seoul-to-Incheon route. Taxis are available but are the most expensive option, with a base fare starting at 4,800 KRW plus distance and potentially 20–30% surcharges depending on the taxi's origin, and driving yourself is also common though parking is available at the airport. Ride-share services are not widely used here; the main choices are the train, bus, or taxi.",
