        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Delhi to Toronto?",
        "answer": "A direct flight from Delhi (DEL) to Toronto (YYZ) typically takes about 14 hours 30 minutes to 15 hours. With a layover, common one-stop routes (e.g., via London, Frankfurt, or Dubai) usually take 17 to 22 hours total. The return flight from Toronto to Delhi is often shorter due to tailwinds, averaging around 13 hours 30 minutes nonstop. Air India and Air Canada operate direct flights with similar durations."

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.",
