The return leg is also around 2 hours and 35 minutes, with no meaningful difference between directions. Multiple airlines operate nonstop service, including Air India Express, IndiGo, and Air India.", "methodology": "Flight times and distances come 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). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q1": { "question": "Are there any direct flights from Goa to Delhi?", "answer": "Yes, three airlines fly nonstop from Goa (GOI) to Delhi (DEL): IndiGo (6E), Air India (AI), and Air India Express (IX).

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, flight times and distances for this route come 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). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.", "toolsUsed": [ "route_airlines", "flight_schedule" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Delhi?", "answer": "From Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), you can reach central Delhi by taxi, ride-share (Uber/Ola), auto-rickshaw, the Delhi Metro's Airport Express Line, and DTC buses. The Airport Express Line is the fastest option, taking about 20 minutes to New Delhi Railway Station, while taxis and ride-shares offer door-to-door convenience but are slower in traffic. Buses are the most used public transport mode overall, catering to about 60% of Delhi's commuting demand, though for airport transfers the Metro and app-based cabs are very popular.

The state-owned Kadamba Transport Corporation operates direct shuttle buses from Panaji, Mapusa, and Margao to the airport, providing a much cheaper but slower public transport alternative. Driving yourself is possible via National Highway 66, with paid parking available at the terminal, though traffic near the naval base can add delays.
