        "answer": "Flights from Delhi to Dubai typically cost around $576, with the lowest fares around $290, and while booking timing data isn't available for this route, a practical window of 4–8 weeks in advance is generally advisable for this popular short-haul corridor, with flexibility to book closer for off-peak travel.",
        "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. 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."

App-based ride‑share services like Uber and Ola, prepaid taxis, and auto‑rickshaws offer door‑to‑door convenience at a higher cost, while DTC and DIMTS buses provide the cheapest option but are slower due to traffic. Driving and parking are possible with both short‑term and long‑term lots available, though congestion can make this less predictable.",
