        "answer": "A direct flight from Ahmedabad (AMD) to Delhi (DEL) typically takes about 1 hour 30 to 40 minutes.

Airlines like IndiGo and Air India offer frequent nonstop services with comparable flight times."

      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Ahmedabad to Delhi?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct non-stop flights from Ahmedabad (AMD) to Delhi (DEL). Four airlines operate them — IndiGo (6E) with 126 weekly flights, Air India (AI) with 78, Akasa Air (QP) with 14, and SpiceJet (SG) with 7 — and all four fly daily, with departures spread from early morning through late evening.",
        "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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Delhi?",
        "answer": "From Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), you can reach central Delhi using the Airport Express Line of the Delhi Metro, which takes about twenty minutes to New Delhi Railway Station and is fast, affordable, and reliable. Prepaid taxis and app-based ride-share services like Uber and Ola are available at designated stands, taking thirty to sixty minutes depending on traffic. City buses operated by DTC serve the airport but are slower and less comfortable. Car rentals with or without drivers are available but are less practical for short city stays. The Airport Express Line is the most used and recommended option due to its speed and avoidance of road congestion."
