        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Ahmedabad to Mumbai?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Ahmedabad (AMD) to Mumbai (BOM) typically takes about 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes. Flights with a layover are uncommon on this short domestic route and would significantly increase travel time, so nonstop is the standard option. Airlines such as IndiGo, SpiceJet, and Vistara offer similar flight durations."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Ahmedabad to Mumbai?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct flights from Ahmedabad (AMD) to Mumbai (BOM). IndiGo (6E), Air India (AI), and Akasa Air (QP) all fly the route daily, with IndiGo offering up to 126 weekly flights, Air India 56, and Akasa Air 16. SpiceJet (SG) also operates a couple of non‑stop flights on Saturdays.",
        "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. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.",

      "q6": {
        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Ahmedabad to Mumbai?",
        "answer": "Yes, overnight red-eye flights are available from Ahmedabad to Mumbai. IndiGo operates up to 28 weekly red-eyes with departures between 10:30 PM and 11:55 PM, and Air India has a daily red-eye departing at 9:00 PM. These are short hops, so they land the same night — not the next morning.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "For domestic flights within India, carry a valid government-issued photo ID such as a passport, Aadhaar card, or driver's license, and keep a payment method for baggage fees."

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport is about 8 km northeast of central Ahmedabad. Public buses run from various city points to the airport, but they can be crowded and less frequent. App‑based ride‑share services like Uber and Ola are widely used, offering a convenient door‑to‑door option, while prepaid and metered taxis are readily available at stands across the city. Driving and parking are possible, with short‑term and long‑term lots at the terminal, though traffic can be heavy during peak hours. Ride‑share and taxis are the most popular choices for their reliability and comfort, with ride‑share generally being the more affordable of the two.",

        "question": "What aircraft are typically used on flights from Ahmedabad to Mumbai?",
        "answer": "On the nonstop Ahmedabad–Mumbai route, the Airbus A320 family dominates: IndiGo primarily uses the A320-100, Air India flies the A320-200 Neo, and both carriers operate the A321-100 on some services. One-stop itineraries via Delhi feature Air India’s widebodies (787-8, A350-900) alongside more A320-series jets, while an Etihad connection via Abu Dhabi uses the A350-1000 and A321. The exact aircraft can vary by day and airline, but narrowbody Airbuses are the standard for nonstop flights.",
        "methodology": "Aircraft types are taken from the equipment each operating carrier schedules on this route, drawn from published airline timetables and airline equipment schedules in our flight-schedule database. They describe typical scheduled aircraft and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute equipment swaps.
