        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Delhi to Hyderabad?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Delhi (DEL) to Hyderabad (HYD) typically takes about 2 hours 10 minutes to 2 hours 20 minutes. Airlines such as IndiGo, Air India, and Vistara offer similar flight times on this route. Flights with a layover are uncommon due to the short distance and generally take 4 hours or more."

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Delhi to Hyderabad?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are plenty of non‑stop flights from Delhi to Hyderabad. IndiGo (6E), Air India (AI), and Akasa Air (QP) all fly the route daily, together offering over 270 weekly departures from early morning through late evening.",
        "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.",
