        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Delhi to Indore?",
        "answer": "A direct flight from Delhi (DEL) to Indore (IDR) typically takes about 1 hour 25 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes. One-stop flights, often via Ahmedabad or Mumbai, can extend total travel time to 4 to 7 hours depending on layover duration. The return flight from Indore to Delhi has a similar duration, generally around 1 hour 25 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes nonstop. IndiGo and Air India offer the fastest direct service on this route."

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Delhi to Indore?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are non‑stop flights from Delhi (DEL) to Indore (IDR) operated by three airlines — IndiGo (6E), Air India (AI), and Air India Express (IX) — all running daily. IndiGo offers the most frequencies with up to 8 flights a day, while Air India has 4 daily departures and Air India Express has 3.",
        "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. 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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Indore?",
        "answer": "Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport (IDR) is about 8 kilometers from central Indore. Prepaid taxis and app-based ride services like Uber and Ola are the most reliable and commonly used options, taking 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic. Auto-rickshaws are available but less comfortable. The city’s BRTS bus service, iBus, connects the airport to major points but has limited frequency and is not widely used by air travelers. Car rentals with or without drivers are available at the airport but are more practical for longer stays or regional trips. Most passengers prefer prepaid taxis or ride-hailing apps for their convenience and fixed pricing."

        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Delhi to Indore?",
        "answer": "No nonstop red‑eye flights are available from Delhi (DEL) to Indore (IDR). Connecting itineraries with an overnight leg do exist — for example, late‑evening departures from Delhi to Pune (around 10:25 PM–11:50 PM) or to Ahmedabad (around 9:50 PM) with a long layover before a morning connection to Indore — but there is no direct overnight service on this route.",
        "methodology": "Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes — flagging services that depart late at night and arrive the following morning; for connecting itineraries the red-eye is based on the timing of the overnight long-haul leg.",
