        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Goa to Delhi?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Goa (GOI) to Delhi (DEL) typically takes about 2 hours 30 minutes. The return nonstop flight is similar. Flights with one stop, often via Mumbai, take about 4 to 5 hours total."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Goa to Delhi?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct non‑stop flights from Goa (GOI) to Delhi (DEL). IndiGo (6E) operates the most — about 79 weekly flights spread across multiple daily departures — while Air India (AI) and Air India Express (IX) each offer roughly two daily non‑stops, for a total of three airlines flying the route daily.",
        "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.",

      "q2": {
        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Goa to Delhi?",
        "answer": "No visa is required for travel from Goa to Delhi because both cities are in India. This is a domestic flight within India, so Indian nationals only need a valid government-issued photo ID. Foreign nationals already in India must carry their passport with a valid Indian visa, but no additional visa is needed for this domestic route."

      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Delhi?",
        "answer": "Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi offers several ground transportation options to the city center. The Delhi Metro’s Airport Express Line is the most efficient, reaching New Delhi Railway Station in about twenty minutes with air-conditioned comfort and reliable service. Prepaid taxis and app-based ride shares like Uber and Ola are widely available and provide door-to-door convenience, though travel time can vary from thirty to sixty minutes depending on traffic. Regular auto-rickshaws are cheaper but less comfortable and slower. Car rentals are available but are generally less practical for navigating Delhi’s congested roads. The Airport Express Metro is the most used by savvy travelers due to its speed and fixed fare, while ride shares are popular for those with luggage or late-night arrivals."

        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Goa to Delhi?",

        "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.",
