        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Bhubaneswar to Delhi?",
        "answer": "The flight from Bhubaneswar to Delhi is about 790 miles and typically takes 2 hours 30 minutes. The return leg is shorter at 2 hours 10 minutes, making the outbound journey longer by twenty minutes. Connecting itineraries are available but nonstop service is frequent, so a one-stop trip would add roughly 1 to 3 hours to the total travel time.",
        "methodology": "Flight times and distances come 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). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.",

      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Bhubaneswar to Delhi?",
        "answer": "Yes, three airlines fly nonstop from Bhubaneswar to Delhi: IndiGo (6E), Air India (AI), and Air India Express (IX), all operating daily. IndiGo offers the most frequency with up to 10 daily departures, while Air India runs 4 daily flights and Air India Express runs 3. The flight takes about 2.5 hours eastbound and roughly 2 hours 10 minutes on the return.",
        "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. 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": "From Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, you can reach the city center by taxi, ride-share, app-based cabs, or the Delhi Metro Airport Express Line. The metro is the fastest and most reliable option, whisking you to New Delhi Railway Station in about 20 minutes. Pre-paid taxis and ride-share services are readily available and offer door-to-door convenience, though travel time varies with traffic. Car rentals are present but less popular for central trips. The Airport Express Line is the most-used mode for its speed and avoidance of road congestion.",

Public city buses (including some BRTS routes) connect the airport to key points like the railway station and major squares, offering the cheapest option though with longer travel times. Auto‑rickshaws are widely available for a mid‑range fare, and driving yourself is possible with paid parking at the terminal.",

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.",
