        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Atlanta to Delhi?",
        "answer": "Atlanta to Delhi is about 7,970 miles, and there is no nonstop service on this route, so a connection is required. A typical one-stop journey takes approximately 18 to 22 hours total, depending on the layover.",
        "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.",

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Atlanta to Delhi?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop flights from Atlanta to Delhi. The quickest one-stop options connect through hubs in the Middle East or Europe — for example, via Abu Dhabi (AUH) on Etihad or via Amsterdam (AMS) on Delta/KLM — with a typical total travel time around 22½ hours. Etihad tends to offer the lowest median fare at about $1,101, while Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines are also competitive.",

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.

Aircraft types are taken from the equipment each operating carrier schedules on this route, drawn from published airline timetables and airline equipment schedules in our flight-schedule database.

        "answer": "From Indira Gandhi International Airport, the Delhi Metro’s Airport Express Line is the fastest and most popular way to reach the city center, taking about 20 minutes to New Delhi Railway Station. Prepaid taxis and app-based ride shares like Uber and Ola are also readily available outside the arrivals terminals, offering door-to-door convenience. Public buses run by DTC serve the airport but are slower and less comfortable for travelers with luggage. Car rentals are available but rarely used for city-center transfers due to heavy traffic and the ease of other modes.",
