        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Ahmedabad to Delhi?",
        "answer": "The flight from Ahmedabad to Delhi covers about 470 miles and typically takes 1 hour 45 minutes nonstop. The return leg is also about 1 hour 45 minutes, with no meaningful difference between directions.",
        "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.",

Together they offer over 200 weekly departures across the day, with IndiGo alone running 18 daily flights.

        "answer": "From Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, you can reach the city center by taxi, ride share (Uber/Ola), the Airport Express Line of the Delhi Metro, and pre-booked private cars. The Delhi Metro's Airport Express is the fastest option, taking about 20 minutes to New Delhi Railway Station, while taxis and ride shares offer door-to-door convenience. Car rentals are available but less common for city-center transfers due to traffic and parking challenges. The Delhi Metro is the most used public transport mode overall, though many travelers opt for prepaid taxis or app-based rides for direct hotel access.",
