        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Guwahati to Delhi?",
        "answer": "The flight from Guwahati to Delhi is about 900 miles. Nonstop flights typically take around 2 hours and 50 minutes, while the return journey is about 2 hours and 25 minutes, with the westbound trip being shorter due to prevailing winds.",
        "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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Delhi?",
        "answer": "Delhi offers a wide range of ground transportation from Indira Gandhi International Airport to the city center, including taxis (both metered and app-based like Uber and Ola), auto-rickshaws, buses, and the Delhi Metro. The Delhi Metro is the fastest and most efficient option, with an express line from the airport to New Delhi station, while app-based taxis are the most comfortable and convenient for door-to-door service. Buses are the most used mode of transport in Delhi overall, catering to about 60% of commuting demand, but for airport transfers taxis and the metro are more common among travelers. Auto-rickshaws are cheaper than taxis but require haggling, and cycle-rickshaws are only practical for very short distances. The Delhi Metro's Airport Express Line is generally the best choice for speed and reliability, taking around 20 minutes to reach the city center.",

        "answer": "Reaching Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport from downtown Guwahati is easiest by pre-paid taxi or app-based ride-share, which are the most popular and take about 45–60 minutes depending on traffic. Public city buses and the Assam State Transport Corporation (ASTC) offer cheaper shuttle services from the city center, though they are slower and less frequent. Driving yourself is possible with paid parking at the terminal, but traffic on the airport road can be heavy at peak hours. Taxis and ride-shares are generally the fastest and most convenient option, while buses are the most economical.",
