        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Bengaluru to Atlanta?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop flights from Bengaluru (BLR) to Atlanta (ATL). The shortest connecting option is typically via Paris (CDG) on Air France, taking about 10 hours 25 minutes to Paris and then 9 hours 25 minutes to Atlanta, with a layover of roughly 5 hours 40 minutes — total journey around 25½ hours. Other one-stop options include connections through Abu Dhabi (Etihad), Frankfurt (Lufthansa), Amsterdam (KLM/Delta), Doha (Qatar Airways), and London (British Airways).",
        "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.",

        "answer": "From Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, MARTA rail is the fastest and most-used option to downtown, running on the Red and Gold lines directly from the airport terminal. Taxis operate on a flat-fee structure to the Atlanta Business District, and two authorized rideshare companies provide pickup service. The ATL SkyTrain connects to a consolidated Rental Car Center, and numerous hotels offer free shuttle service, while Greyhound Flightlink and regional shuttles serve destinations beyond the metro area.",

        "question": "How do I get to Kempegowda Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From central Bengaluru, Kempegowda International Airport is about 35–40 km north of the city, so most travelers rely on app-based ride-hailing services or pre-booked taxis, which are the fastest and most popular options but also the most expensive. The BMTC operates dedicated airport shuttle buses (Vayu Vajra) from major points across the city, offering a more affordable public transit alternative, though travel times can stretch significantly in traffic. Driving yourself is possible with onsite parking, but congestion on the route to Devanahalli is notorious and can add considerable delay, so it's generally not recommended for time-sensitive departures.",
