        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Bangkok to Delhi?",
        "answer": "The flight from Bangkok to Delhi covers about 1,830 miles and typically takes 4 hours 30 minutes nonstop. Returning to Bangkok is slightly shorter at around 4 hours 25 minutes, a small difference due to prevailing winds.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "Yes, four airlines fly nonstop from Bangkok to Delhi: Thai Airways, Air India, IndiGo, and SpiceJet, with a combined 100 weekly flights — all operate daily. Thai Airways offers the most frequencies at 44 weekly departures, followed by Air India (28), IndiGo (21), and SpiceJet (7). Flight time is about 4½ hours, and Thai Airways and Air India also run overnight red-eyes departing late evening and arriving the next morning.",

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.

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Delhi?",
        "answer": "At Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, the most reliable and widely used option is the Airport Express metro line, which reaches the city center in about 20 minutes. Prepaid taxis and app-based ride services like Uber and Ola are also readily available and are the most popular door-to-door choice for travelers with luggage. Car rentals exist but are less common for getting into the city due to heavy traffic. The airport is also served by public buses, though they are slower and less convenient than the metro or a taxi.",

        "question": "Which airline alliances serve flights from Bangkok to Delhi?",
        "answer": "Thai Airways (Star Alliance), Air India (Star Alliance), IndiGo, and SpiceJet fly nonstop from Bangkok to Delhi. Star Alliance is the only global alliance with nonstop service here, through Thai Airways and Air India, while IndiGo and SpiceJet are unaffiliated with any alliance.",
        "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.",
