The shortest connecting routings typically involve a single stop, such as via New York (JFK or LGA) on American Airlines, via Newark on United, or via San Francisco on a combination of United and Air India, with total travel times generally in the range of 20 to 24 hours depending on layovers. Fares on this route generally start around $1,025 for a roundtrip with two stops, though one-stop itineraries are available.", "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. Cheapest prices are determined by finding the lowest fare Priceline users have found for the requested route and date in the last 72 hours. 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.", "toolsUsed": [ "route_airlines", "flight_schedule", "cheapest_flights", "redeye_flights" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Delhi?", "answer": "Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport offers several ground transport options to the city center, including taxis, ride-share services like Uber and Ola, auto-rickshaws, and the Delhi Metro, with buses also serving the airport. The Delhi Metro is a fast, efficient, and modern rapid transit system, while taxis and ride-shares provide door-to-door convenience, and auto-rickshaws are cheaper but require fare negotiation. Buses remain the most used mode for intra-city travel overall in Delhi, catering to about 60% of commuting demand, though the Metro is often the fastest and most reliable airport link.
