        "question": "Which cities in Canada can I fly to from Mumbai?",
        "answer": "From Mumbai you can fly non-stop to Toronto on Air Canada or Air India. One-stop connections through European or Middle Eastern hubs reach Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary and Edmonton.

      },
      "q1": {

      },
      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Mumbai to Canada?",
        "answer": "For Mumbai to Canada, booking 8–12 weeks ahead typically secures the best fares, with the lowest prices often found on Wednesdays and during early-morning departures, while peak summer and holiday travel can push prices above $1,400, so booking earlier for those periods is wise.",
        "methodology": "Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price. The typical price, the lowest fare, a 'great deal' threshold, and how fares are spread across price bands are summarized from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, with a small fraction of extreme outlier fares excluded from the range. The cheapest day of the week and time of day to depart are drawn from the same large sample of real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, grouped by the day of the week and by the time-of-day window of the outbound departure, with the lowest and average price reported for each."

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit Canada?",

Spring and autumn give you comfortable temperatures in gateway cities like Toronto and Vancouver, with lower prices outside the high season."

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Chhatrapati Shivaji Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Reaching Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) from downtown Mumbai is easiest by app‑based cab, metered taxi, or the new Metro Line 3, which stops directly at both terminals. Suburban trains serve nearby stations (Vile Parle for Terminal 1, Andheri for Terminal 2) and are the cheapest option, though they can be crowded. Luxury air‑conditioned BEST buses and regular city buses also connect the airport to various parts of Mumbai. The fastest and most popular choice is a ride‑share or prepaid taxi, while the Metro offers a good balance of speed and cost.",
