        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Guwahati to Delhi?",
        "answer": "A direct flight from Guwahati (GAU) to Delhi (DEL) typically takes about 2 hours 30 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes. Flights with one stop, often via Kolkata, can take 4 to 6 hours or more depending on the layover.

The return flight from Delhi to Guwahati usually takes a comparable duration, around 2 hours 30 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes nonstop."

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Guwahati to Delhi?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct non‑stop flights from Guwahati (GAU) to Delhi (DEL), operated daily by IndiGo (6E), Air India Express (IX), Air India (AI), and SpiceJet (SG). IndiGo offers the highest frequency with about 10 departures spread throughout the day, followed by Air India Express with 6, Air India with 4, and SpiceJet with roughly 2 daily flights.",
        "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": "Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) offers several ground transportation options. The Delhi Metro's Airport Express Line is the most efficient, reaching New Delhi Railway Station in about twenty minutes with frequent service. Taxis and app-based ride-share services like Uber and Ola are readily available, taking roughly thirty to forty-five minutes to central areas depending on traffic, and are widely used for their convenience. Prepaid taxi counters inside the terminal provide fixed-rate rides, while standard metered taxis are also an option. Buses operated by DTC connect the airport to various parts of the city but are slower and less comfortable. Car rental services with or without drivers are available but are generally less practical for city travel due to heavy traffic. The Delhi Metro is the most used option for those prioritizing speed and cost, while ride-share services are popular for door-to-door convenience."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Guwahati to Delhi?",
        "answer": "For the Guwahati to Delhi route, the best fares are typically found when booking about 4 to 6 weeks ahead of travel; during peak summer months (April–July) and major holiday periods like Durga Puja or Diwali, it's wise to book 8 to 10 weeks in advance to avoid steep last-minute price hikes.",
