        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Hyderabad to Mumbai?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Hyderabad (HYD) to Mumbai (BOM) typically takes about 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. The return flight from Mumbai to Hyderabad is similar, usually around 1 hour 35 minutes. With a layover, total travel time increases significantly, often to 4–6 hours depending on the connection."

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Hyderabad to Mumbai?",
        "answer": "Yes, IndiGo (6E) and Air India (AI) fly non-stop from Hyderabad to Mumbai. Together they offer over 200 weekly flights with departures spread throughout the day, operating daily.",
        "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.",

IndiGo operates up to 21 weekly red‑eyes departing around 9:50 PM, 10:05 PM, and 11:40 PM, while Air India runs a daily red‑eye departing at 10:20 PM. These are short flights, so they arrive the same night rather than 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.",
