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. 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.",

Ride‑share apps like Uber and Ola operate widely and are often the most popular choice for their convenience and fixed pricing. Metered taxis and prepaid airport cabs are also available, while auto‑rickshaws offer a cheaper but slower alternative. Public buses run from various city points, though they are less frequent and can be crowded; driving and parking is an option with both short‑term and long‑term lots at the terminal, but it’s rarely the fastest due to congestion.",
