        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Indore to Delhi?",
        "answer": "A direct flight from Indore (IDR) to Delhi (DEL) typically takes about 1 hour 35 minutes. The return flight from Delhi to Indore often takes a similar duration, around 1 hour 35 minutes. One-stop options are uncommon on this short domestic route and significantly increase total travel time, so direct flights are the standard and fastest choice. Airlines such as IndiGo and Air India operate direct services with comparable flight times."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Indore to Delhi?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct non‑stop flights from Indore (IDR) to Delhi (DEL). Three airlines operate the route: IndiGo (6E) with 56 weekly flights, Air India (AI) with 35 weekly, and Air India Express (IX) with 14 weekly — all running daily, with departures spread throughout the day from early morning to late evening.",
        "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": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Indore to Delhi?",

This is a domestic flight, so only a valid government-issued photo ID, such as an Aadhaar card, passport, or driver's license, is needed for Indian nationals. Foreign nationals traveling within India should carry their passport with a valid Indian visa."
      },
      "q3": {
        "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 fast and reliable, reaching New Delhi Railway Station in about twenty minutes and connecting to the wider metro network. It is the most used option for solo travelers and those avoiding traffic. Prepaid taxis and app-based ride services like Uber and Ola are widely available, with journey times of thirty to sixty minutes depending on traffic. City buses operated by DTC are the cheapest but can be slow and crowded. Car rentals with or without drivers are available at the airport, useful for extended stays or business travel. Most passengers prefer the metro for its speed and fixed cost."
