        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Amritsar to Delhi?",
        "answer": "A direct flight from Amritsar (ATQ) to Delhi (DEL) typically takes about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Flights with a layover are uncommon on this short domestic route and would significantly increase travel time. The return flight from Delhi to Amritsar has a similar duration of around 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, sometimes slightly shorter due to prevailing winds. Airlines such as IndiGo, Air India, and SpiceJet offer frequent nonstop service with comparable flight times."

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Amritsar to Delhi?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct non‑stop flights from Amritsar (ATQ) to Delhi (DEL) operated by Air India (AI), IndiGo (6E), and Air India Express (IX). Air India and IndiGo each run multiple daily flights — 59 and 49 per week respectively — while Air India Express offers a more limited service with four weekly flights on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.",
        "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 Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport, you can reach the city center by the Airport Express Line of the Delhi Metro, which reaches New Delhi Railway Station in about 20 minutes and is the fastest, most reliable option. Prepaid taxis and app-based ride-share services like Uber and Ola are available outside the terminals, taking 30 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. Public buses are the cheapest but slowest option, often crowded. Car rentals with or without drivers are available but less practical for central Delhi due to traffic and parking. The Delhi Metro Airport Express is the most used by travelers for its speed and efficiency."
