      "q0": {
        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Delhi to Guwahati?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Delhi (DEL) to Guwahati (GAU) typically takes about 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes. With one stop, often in Kolkata, the total journey time can extend to 4–5 hours. IndiGo and Air India offer the most frequent nonstop services, while SpiceJet and Vistara also operate on this route with similar flight times."
      },
      "q6": {
        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Delhi to Guwahati?",
        "answer": "No nonstop red‑eye flights operate from Delhi to Guwahati, but connecting itineraries whose long leg is an overnight flight are available. Air India offers a red‑eye departing Delhi at 22:00 and arriving in Kolkata at 00:20, then connecting to Air India Express after a 7‑hour layover. IndiGo operates a similar pattern departing Delhi at 23:30 and reaching Kolkata at 01:45, followed by a 7‑hour‑15‑minute layover before the onward IndiGo flight to Guwahati.",
        "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.",

      },
      "q7": {
        "question": "Which airlines usually operate this route from Delhi to Guwahati?",
        "answer": "IndiGo (6E) is the dominant non‑stop carrier from Delhi to Guwahati, operating 70 weekly flights with departures spread from early morning through late evening. Air India Express (IX) follows with 42 weekly flights, Air India (AI) with 28, and SpiceJet (SG) with 13. Specific per‑carrier fares are not available in the schedule data, but all four airlines offer daily non‑stop service on this domestic 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.",

      "q8": {
        "question": "If I need a connection, what are common layover cities between Delhi and Guwahati?",
        "answer": "Common layover cities between Delhi and Guwahati are Kolkata and Bagdogra. Kolkata offers frequent connections and efficient transfers, while Bagdogra serves as a convenient hub for northeastern routes, keeping total travel time competitive. Since this is a domestic route, visa‑free transit does not apply."
      },
      "q9": {
        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Delhi to Guwahati?",
        "answer": "On‑time performance can be inconsistent due to weather and air traffic. Early‑morning flights on IndiGo or Air India tend to be more punctual."
      },
      "q10": {
        "question": "Which months have the best weather for traveling to Guwahati?",
        "answer": "November to February offers pleasant temperatures and low humidity, ideal for exploring."
      },
      "q11": {
        "question": "What documents should I bring with me to the airport when flying from Delhi to Guwahati?",
        "answer": "Bring a valid government photo ID like your Aadhaar card or passport, have a payment method for luggage and keep any required vaccination certificates handy."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Guwahati?",
        "answer": "Guwahati has only one commercial airport, Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport, which serves all flights."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Indira Gandhi Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "The Delhi Metro's Airport Express Line is the fastest and most popular way to reach Indira Gandhi International Airport from the city center, offering a direct connection from New Delhi Railway Station. Air-conditioned shuttle buses operated by DTC also serve major points like Connaught Place and ISBT. Ride‑share services and prepaid taxis are widely available and provide door‑to‑door convenience, while driving yourself means using the airport's short‑term or long‑stay parking. The metro is generally the quickest during peak hours and the most economical, with taxis and app‑based rides costing more but offering greater comfort and flexibility.",

No dedicated sleeping areas or quiet zones are available inside the terminal. Several hotels are located near the airport, though none are connected by a dedicated shuttle service.",

        "question": "What aircraft are typically used on flights from Delhi to Guwahati?",
        "answer": "Nonstop flights from Delhi to Guwahati are operated with a mix of narrow-body Airbus and Boeing jets, most commonly Airbus A321-100s and Boeing 737s. The Airbus A320 family — including the A320-100 and A320-200 Neo — also appears regularly. Exact aircraft vary by day and airline, but these single-aisle types are typical for this route.",
        "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.",
