        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Delhi to Mumbai?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Delhi (DEL) to Mumbai (BOM) typically takes about 2 hours 10 minutes to 2 hours 20 minutes. With a layover, total travel time can extend to 4–6 hours or more, depending on the connection."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Delhi to Mumbai?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are plenty of non‑stop flights from Delhi to Mumbai — Air India, IndiGo, SpiceJet, Akasa Air, and Air India Express all operate the route daily. Between them there are over 500 weekly departures, with flights spread across the entire day from just after midnight through late evening. With five carriers flying daily, you have a huge range of timings to choose from.",
        "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. 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.",

        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Delhi to Mumbai?",
        "answer": "Overnight red-eye flights are widely available from Delhi to Mumbai. Air India, IndiGo, SpiceJet, and Air India Express all operate late-evening nonstop red-eyes, with departures clustered between 9:00 PM and 11:30 PM. The flight takes roughly two hours, so these red-eyes land in Mumbai between about 11:00 PM and 1:30 AM — arrivals before midnight land the same night, while those after midnight arrive in the early hours.",
        "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.",

Other types that appear less frequently include the Boeing 787-8 and Airbus A350-900 on select Air India flights, while several carriers also operate unspecified narrowbody jets. The exact aircraft can vary by day and airline, but these Airbus narrowbodies dominate the schedule.",
        "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.
