        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Columbus to Delhi?",
        "answer": "There are no non‑stop flights from Columbus (CMH) to Delhi (DEL). The shortest connecting routings typically take around 14 to 15 hours total, with one stop — for example, United via Newark (EWR) with a roughly 1h15m layover, or Air India via San Francisco (SFO) with a longer connection. Other carriers like American also offer one‑stop itineraries via New York (JFK), though with a longer layover.",
        "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, 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. 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": "What are the ground transportation options in Delhi?",
        "answer": "Indira Gandhi International Airport is about 15 km from New Delhi Railway Station and 16 km from the city center. Delhi offers a wide range of ground transport: the Delhi Metro (rapid, expanding), DTC and cluster buses (catering to about 60% of commuter demand), taxis including app-based Uber and Ola, auto-rickshaws (cheaper but often require haggling), cycle-rickshaws for short trips, and car rentals. Buses are the most-used mode overall, while the Metro is the fastest and most reliable for reaching central areas. App-based taxis are the most convenient door-to-door option, and auto-rickshaws are popular for shorter hops.",

Vernon bus, which runs between downtown and the airport, though only every other bus serves the airport. Ride-sharing, taxis, and driving are also common; the airport is directly accessible via I-670 exit 9 to International Gateway, and on-site parking includes a six-story garage plus cheaper satellite lots with free shuttles. Driving or ride-share is typically fastest and most popular, while the bus is the least expensive option.",
