        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Hyderabad to Delhi?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Hyderabad (HYD) to Delhi (DEL) typically takes about 2 hours to 2 hours 15 minutes. Flights with one stop, often via Mumbai, can take 4 to 6 hours in total. The return flight from Delhi to Hyderabad generally has a similar duration."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Hyderabad to Delhi?",
        "answer": "Yes, Hyderabad to Delhi has abundant non‑stop flights — IndiGo, Air India, and Akasa Air all fly the route daily. IndiGo offers the most departures (up to 161 a week, roughly 23 a day), Air India runs about 14 flights a day, and Akasa Air adds two daily departures. With three carriers and flights spread from early morning to late night, you'll have no trouble finding a direct option.",
        "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.",

      "q6": {
        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Hyderabad to Delhi?",
        "answer": "Yes, overnight red‑eye flights operate nonstop from Hyderabad to Delhi. Air India offers three daily red‑eyes departing at 21:25, 22:30, and 23:50, while IndiGo has two daily red‑eyes at 21:30 and 23:30. On this roughly two‑hour route, a departure before roughly 22:00 lands the same night, while the later 23:30 and 23:50 departures arrive in the early hours just past midnight.",
        "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": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Hyderabad to Delhi?",
        "answer": "On-time performance can be inconsistent due to congestion at both airports. Early morning flights on IndiGo or Air India tend to be more punctual."
      },
      "q10": {
        "question": "Which months have the best weather for traveling to Delhi?",

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Rajiv Gandhi Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "The Pushpak air-conditioned electric bus service, operated by TGSRTC, is the most popular and affordable way to reach Rajiv Gandhi International Airport from central Hyderabad, with frequent departures from key city points. Metered taxis and ride-share services like Ola and Uber offer door-to-door convenience at a higher cost, while driving yourself is possible via the PV Narasimha Rao Expressway and Outer Ring Road, with both short-term and long-term parking available at the airport. The expressway provides the fastest dedicated route, but the bus typically offers the best balance of cost and reliability for most travelers.",

        "question": "What aircraft are typically used on flights from Hyderabad to Delhi?",
        "answer": "The most common aircraft on the nonstop Hyderabad–Delhi route are the Airbus A320neo (operated by Air India) and the Airbus A321 (operated by IndiGo), with a small number of flights on an unspecified type by Akasa Air. On connecting itineraries via cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, or Pune, IndiGo's Airbus A321 and A320 families dominate the longer leg as well. Exact equipment can vary by day and airline, and while many of these aircraft offer Wi‑Fi and seatback entertainment, availability differs by carrier and specific airframe.",
        "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.",
