        "question": "Which cities in India can I fly to from Kolkata?",

Travelers often choose Delhi for history and north India access, Mumbai for business and western beaches, Bangalore for tech and south India gateways, and Guwahati for northeast India."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from Kolkata to India?",

Non-stop flights to Delhi typically take around 2 hours 15 minutes, and to Mumbai around 2 hours 45 minutes. One-stop connections to smaller cities can take 4 to 6 hours depending on the layover."

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From central Kolkata, the fastest and most popular way to reach Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport is by app‑based ride‑share or a pre‑paid taxi, taking about 45–60 minutes via VIP Road. Public AC buses run from major points like Esplanade and Howrah, while the metro’s Green Line connects Salt Lake Sector V to the airport area, with a short auto‑rickshaw ride from the station. Driving yourself is possible but parking fills quickly, so a taxi or ride‑share is usually the most convenient option.",
