        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Delhi?",
        "answer": "Travelers from the United States can fly nonstop to Delhi from New York (JFK) and Chicago (ORD). New York offers the most flights, with about 59 weekly nonstops on Air India, United, and American Airlines, while Chicago has a smaller nonstop operation by Air India. Most other US cities require a connection, typically through major European or Middle Eastern hubs like London, Dubai, or Doha. Your choice of departure city usually depends on proximity to one of these gateways, with New York being the most practical for east coast residents and those seeking the most frequent nonstop options.",
        "methodology": "The US departure cities with nonstop service to this destination, their weekly flight frequencies, typical flight times, airlines, and red-eye availability 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 identify every US airport with scheduled nonstop service to the destination, group them into their metropolitan areas, and rank the cities by scheduled weekly departures; the typical flight time is the median scheduled duration, and red-eye availability is flagged from scheduled local departure and arrival times.",

        "question": "How long is the flight from United States to Delhi?",
        "answer": "Nonstop flights from the US to Delhi take about 14 hours 50 minutes from New York (JFK) and roughly 16 hours 20 minutes from Chicago (ORD). From other major US cities without nonstop service, like Los Angeles or San Francisco, typical one-stop itineraries range from 18 to 22 hours depending on the connection. Return flights from Delhi to the US are often slightly shorter due to tailwinds, commonly around 15 to 16 hours nonstop to the East Coast.",
