        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Detroit to Delhi?",
        "answer": "Detroit to Delhi requires a connection, as there is no nonstop service. The distance is about 7,390 miles. A typical one-stop journey takes approximately 18 to 22 hours, 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": "What are the ground transportation options in Delhi?",
        "answer": "From Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), located about 15 km from the city center, the Delhi Metro's Airport Express Line is the fastest and most popular way to reach central Delhi, taking under 20 minutes. Prepaid taxis and app-based ride services like Uber and Ola are readily available and offer door-to-door convenience, while auto-rickshaws are a cheaper but less comfortable option for shorter distances. Public buses also serve the airport, though they are slower and less favored by visitors. Car rentals are available but rarely used due to Delhi's heavy traffic and the efficiency of the metro.",

        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Detroit to Delhi?",
        "answer": "No nonstop red‑eye flights operate from Detroit to Delhi, but connecting itineraries whose long leg is an overnight flight are available. For example, KLM's Amsterdam–Delhi leg departs AMS at 16:45 and arrives DEL at 04:15 (early hours), connecting from a Delta flight from Detroit with about a 4h25m layover. Virgin Atlantic's London–Delhi leg departs LHR at 20:10 and arrives DEL at 09:10 the next morning, connecting from a Delta flight from Detroit with a lengthy 13‑hour layover.",
        "methodology": "Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes — flagging services that depart late at night and arrive the following morning; for connecting itineraries the red-eye is based on the timing of the overnight long-haul leg.",

Fares are not available in this data, so typical prices cannot be stated.",
        "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.",

        "question": "How do I get to Detroit Metro Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Public transit options from downtown Detroit to DTW include the Detroit Air Xpress (DAX) bus, which runs daily from 3:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. with fares of $6–$8, and SMART bus routes 125 and 261 (FAST Michigan) for $2–$4. Ride‑share and taxis are available at both terminals and take about 20–30 minutes, though they cost $35–$50. Driving yourself takes roughly 20–25 minutes via I‑94, with on‑site parking ranging from economy lots to covered garages.
