        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Delhi?",
        "answer": "You can fly nonstop to Delhi from New York (JFK) and Chicago (ORD). New York offers the most flights—about 59 per week on Air India, United, and American—while Chicago has around 4 weekly nonstops on Air India. For travelers elsewhere in the US, common one-stop itineraries connect through these hubs or via major European or Middle Eastern airports like London, Dubai, or Doha. Choosing a departure city typically comes down to proximity to a major hub and flight frequency, with New York providing the most options and flexibility.",
        "methodology": "The U.S. departure cities with nonstop service to this destination and their weekly frequencies 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). We identify every U.S. airport with scheduled nonstop service, group airports into their metropolitan areas, and rank cities by scheduled weekly departures.",

Boston and Washington also offer competitive fares at $739 and $758 respectively. About 28 U.S. cities provide service to Delhi, with typical round-trip fares averaging $1,126.",
        "methodology": "These fares come from a large sample of the real airfares Priceline shoppers found for flights from U.S. departure cities to this destination, grouped by origin city, day of the week, time of day and how far ahead the trip was booked.

For the best fares, book at least two to three months ahead and consider midweek departures, especially Tuesday or Wednesday, and red-eye flights from major gateways like New York or San Francisco."

Always confirm with your airline."
      },
      "q10": {

Ground transport into downtown Delhi includes the Delhi Metro's Airport Express Line, which provides a fast rail connection, as well as DTC and DIMTS buses, radio taxis, and ride-share services like Uber and Ola.
