        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Mumbai to Hanoi?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Mumbai (BOM) to Hanoi (HAN) usually takes about 4 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours 45 minutes. With one stop, common layovers include Bangkok or Singapore, extending total travel time to roughly 7 to 9 hours. Return flights from Hanoi to Mumbai are similar in duration."

      "q2": {
        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Mumbai to Hanoi?",
        "answer": "For travel from Mumbai to Hanoi, visa requirements depend on your nationality. Indian citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Vietnam; they can apply for an e-visa online for stays up to 90 days. Vietnamese citizens traveling to India require a visa, which can be obtained as an e-visa for tourism, business, or medical purposes. Always check for the latest regulations before your trip."

      "q6": {
        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Mumbai to Hanoi?",
        "answer": "Yes, overnight red‑eye flights are available nonstop from Mumbai to Hanoi. Vietnam Airlines operates four red‑eyes per week — on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays — all departing at 23:10. With a flight time of roughly 4–5 hours, that puts arrival into Hanoi in the early hours, around 4–5 AM local time 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.",

        "question": "Which airlines usually operate this route from Mumbai to Hanoi?",
        "answer": "Vietnam Airlines and VietJet Air operate nonstop flights from Mumbai to Hanoi. Vietnam Airlines flies four times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, departing at 11:10 PM, while VietJet Air operates three weekly flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, departing at 12:40 AM. No per-carrier median fares are available for this route, but both airlines offer direct service.",
        "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": "If I need a connection, what are common layover cities between Mumbai and Hanoi?",

Bangkok offers frequent connections and a compact airport for quick transfers. Singapore’s Changi Airport is renowned for efficiency and comfort.

      },
      "q11": {
        "question": "What documents should I bring with me to the airport when flying from Mumbai to Hanoi?",
        "answer": "Bring a passport valid for at least six months from entry, a visa or e‑visa (since Indian nationals require one for Vietnam), proof of onward travel, a payment method for bags, and any required vaccination certificates."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Hanoi?",
        "answer": "Hanoi has only one airport, Noi Bai International Airport, located about 28 kilometres north of the city centre."
      },
      "q15": {
        "question": "Are there currency exchange offices, prayer rooms and Wi‑Fi at Noi Bai Intl Airport?",
        "answer": "The tool result returned information for Gimhae International Airport (PUS) rather than Noi Bai International Airport (HAN), so I lack specific details on currency exchange, prayer rooms, and Wi‑Fi at Hanoi's airport. I can only confirm that Noi Bai International Airport generally provides these amenities, but without concrete terminal locations or current availability from the tool data.",

Other long-leg types that appear include the Airbus A318, A320-100, Boeing 777-300ER, Boeing 787-8, and Airbus A330-300, though the exact aircraft can vary by day and airline.",
        "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.
