        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Detroit to Mumbai?",
        "answer": "There is no nonstop service between Detroit and Mumbai, so the journey requires at least one connection and typically takes around 18–22 hours total. The flight distance from Detroit (DTW) to Mumbai (BOM) is about 7,940 miles.",
        "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.",

The fastest option is typically the metro or a taxi, while app-based cabs and prepaid taxis are the most used for direct airport-to-city transfers. The suburban railway is efficient but requires a short bus or rickshaw ride to Vile Parle or Andheri stations. Car rentals are available but less common for tourists due to traffic.",

        "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.",

        "answer": "From downtown Detroit to Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), the Detroit Air Xpress (DAX) bus runs daily from 3:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., offering luggage storage, Wi-Fi, and charging ports for a low fare. SMART's FAST Michigan Route 261 also provides high-frequency limited-stop bus service to both terminals, and ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, taxis, and rental cars are available for door-to-door convenience. Driving yourself and parking at the airport is another option, with short-term and long-term lots near the terminals. The DAX bus is typically the most popular and economical choice for the downtown-to-airport trip, while ride-share or taxi is fastest but costs more.",

On connecting options, the long-haul leg is most often a Boeing 787-9, flown by Virgin Atlantic via London, Turkish Airlines via Istanbul, or Lufthansa via Frankfurt.

For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated.
