        "answer": "A direct flight from Bangkok (BKK) to Hyderabad (HYD) typically takes around 3 hours and 30 minutes.

IndiGo runs two flights a day at 11:55 AM and 5:10 PM, while Thai Airways also offers two daily departures at 9:50 PM and 9:55 PM. So there are four nonstop flights every day on this route.",

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. Carrier service and weekly frequencies are summarized from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). Where available, on-time and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, and typical fares from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.",
