        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Mumbai to Ahmedabad?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Mumbai (BOM) to Ahmedabad (AMD) typically takes 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes. There are no layovers on this short domestic route. The return flight duration is similar."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Mumbai to Ahmedabad?",
        "answer": "Yes, nonstop flights from Mumbai to Ahmedabad are plentiful, with four airlines operating a combined 187 weekly flights. IndiGo (6E) leads with 126 flights per week, followed by Air India (AI) with 43, Akasa Air (QP) with 16, and SpiceJet (SG) with just 2 flights on Saturdays. All carriers except SpiceJet operate daily service on the route.",
        "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.",

        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Mumbai to Ahmedabad?",
        "answer": "Yes, overnight red‑eye flights operate nonstop from Mumbai to Ahmedabad. IndiGo offers up to 28 red‑eyes weekly with departures around 21:05, 21:45, and 23:00, while Akasa Air and Air India each run a daily red‑eye departing around 21:10 and 22:10 respectively. On this short hop, these late‑evening departures 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.",
