        "question": "Which cities in India can I fly to from Vancouver?",
        "answer": "From Vancouver you can fly non-stop to Delhi with Air India. One-stop connections via hubs like London, Frankfurt, or Tokyo open up Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad. Delhi serves as the primary gateway for northern India and domestic connections, while Mumbai is the hub for western and southern India."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from Vancouver to India?",
        "answer": "From Vancouver to India, a typical one-stop itinerary to Delhi or Mumbai takes 18 to 22 hours westbound, while the return eastbound is often 1 to 2 hours shorter due to prevailing winds. A second stop or a longer layover can push the total journey beyond 24 hours."
      },
      "q2": {
        "question": "Are there direct flights from Vancouver to India?",
        "answer": "There are non-stop flights from Vancouver to Delhi on Air India, and seasonal service to other Indian cities may be available. If your dates don't line up with a non-stop, common one-stop routings go through hubs like Hong Kong, Tokyo, London or Dubai, with total travel times typically ranging from about 18 to 24 hours."
      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "Which airlines fly from Vancouver to India?",

      },
      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Vancouver to India?",
        "answer": "From Vancouver to Delhi, midweek departures — especially Tuesday — tend to be the cheapest, while Fridays and Saturdays are the priciest. Midday and late-night flights often offer the lowest fares, and you'll generally avoid the highest prices by steering clear of peak summer and major holiday periods.",
        "methodology": "The cheapest day of the week and time of day to depart are drawn from the same large sample of real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, grouped by the day of the week and by the time-of-day window of the outbound departure, with the lowest and average price reported for each."
      },
      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Vancouver to India?",
        "answer": "For Vancouver to India, aim to book 8–12 weeks ahead for the best balance of availability and price, though for peak summer and December holiday travel locking in 12–16 weeks out is wise, while shoulder-season trips can often be booked 4–6 weeks before departure without a major penalty.",
        "methodology": "Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price."

      "q6": {
        "question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in India?",

      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in India are best to fly into from Vancouver?",
        "answer": "From Vancouver to India, Delhi is the primary gateway with the most long-haul options and excellent rail connections across the north. Mumbai is a strong alternative for western and southern India, while Bengaluru works well for tech hubs and southern getaways. Chennai and Hyderabad are useful for regional travel to the south."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit India?",
        "answer": "For India, October to March is ideal for most regions, with cooler, dry weather. Summer, from April to June, brings intense heat and higher prices in hill stations, while the monsoon from July to September can disrupt travel but offers lush landscapes and lower costs."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Vancouver Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "The Canada Line rapid transit train is the fastest and most popular way to reach Vancouver International Airport from downtown, taking under 30 minutes and running frequently with a small airport add-fare on top of the regular transit fare. Taxis are available from downtown with metered or zone fares and are a convenient but pricier option, while rideshare services also serve the airport. Driving is possible with on-site parking that can be booked in advance, and the N10 NightBus provides 24-hour transit access when the Canada Line is closed. Overall, the Canada Line offers the best balance of speed and cost for most travelers.",
