        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Goa to Bengaluru?",
        "answer": "The flight from Goa to Bengaluru is about 300 miles and typically takes 1 hour 20 minutes nonstop. The return leg is slightly shorter at 1 hour 15 minutes.",
        "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.",

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Goa to Bengaluru?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are nonstop flights from Goa (GOI) to Bengaluru (BLR). IndiGo (6E) and Air India Express (IX) both fly the route daily, with IndiGo offering up to 12 departures a day and Air India Express offering 3. The flight takes about 80 minutes.",
        "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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Bengaluru?",
        "answer": "From Kempegowda International Airport (BLR), located about 35 km north of Bengaluru, taxis and ride‑sharing services are the most popular and convenient ways to reach the city center, with a travel time of roughly 45–60 minutes depending on traffic. A suburban rail halt station (KIAD) is available with a free shuttle to the terminal, offering a handful of MEMU/DEMU trains six days a week to several city stations, though frequency is limited. Bus services operated by BMTC also connect the airport to key points in Bengaluru. Taxis and ride‑shares are generally the most used due to their door‑to‑door convenience, while the rail option is the most affordable but less flexible.",
