        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Goa to Bengaluru?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Goa (GOI) to Bengaluru (BLR) typically takes about 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes. With a layover, the total travel time can range from 3 to 6 hours, depending on the connection city and waiting time."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Goa to Bengaluru?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct non‑stop flights from Goa (GOI) to Bengaluru (BLR). Two airlines operate the route: IndiGo (6E) runs up to 12 daily departures and Air India Express (IX) runs 3 daily departures, both flying every day of the week. Combined they offer about 82 weekly non‑stop flights 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. 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.",

      "q2": {
        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Goa to Bengaluru?",
        "answer": "No — this route is entirely within India, so no international visa or travel authorization is required. Indian nationals only need a valid government‑issued photo ID for domestic flights. Non‑Indian travelers should carry their passport and valid Indian visa, but no additional documentation is needed for this domestic segment."
      },
      "q6": {
        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Goa to Bengaluru?",
        "answer": "Yes, IndiGo (6E) operates a daily nonstop red-eye from Goa to Bengaluru, departing at 23:30. Because the flight is short, it arrives the same night — the tool does not mark it as arriving the next day.",
        "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 Goa to Bengaluru?",
        "answer": "IndiGo (6E) and Air India Express (IX) fly nonstop from Goa to Bengaluru, with IndiGo offering around 65 weekly flights and Air India Express about 17. Both carriers operate daily service across a range of departure times throughout the day. Specific per-carrier fares aren't available for this route, but IndiGo's higher frequency makes it the dominant option.",

        "question": "If I need a connection, what are common layover cities between Goa and Bengaluru?",
        "answer": "This is a domestic route within India, so visa‑free transit is irrelevant. Common layover cities include Mumbai and Hyderabad, which offer frequent connections and efficient transfers, keeping total travel time competitive."
      },
      "q9": {
        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Goa to Bengaluru?",
        "answer": "On-time reliability is moderate, with afternoon flights often facing delays due to air traffic and weather. Early morning departures on IndiGo or Air India tend to be more punctual."
      },
      "q10": {

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Bengaluru?",
        "answer": "Bengaluru has only one commercial airport, Kempegowda International Airport, located about 40 km north of the city centre. It serves all domestic and international flights for the region."
      },
      "q14": {
        "question": "Are there hotels or sleeping facilities at Bengaluru airport?",
        "answer": "The airport code BLR corresponds to Brest Airport in Belarus, not Bengaluru, India. At Brest Airport, there are no on-site hotels, capsule hotels, or sleeping pods. Nearby hotels are available but require a shuttle or taxi, as none are directly connected to the terminal.",

        "answer": "On nonstop flights from Goa to Bengaluru, the most common aircraft are the Airbus A321-100 and Boeing 737, with some A320-100s also appearing; the exact type can vary by day and airline. Connecting options, typically via Mumbai or Hyderabad, often use Airbus A320-200 Neo or A321-100 aircraft for the longer leg. Wi-Fi and seatback entertainment are widely available across these fleets, though specific offerings depend on the carrier.",
