      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from Chandigarh to India?",
        "answer": "Since Chandigarh is already in India, flights to other Indian cities are domestic. Non-stop flights to Delhi take about 1 hour, while flights to Mumbai or Bangalore may take 2 to 3 hours non-stop or 4 to 6 hours with a connection."
      },
      "q2": {
        "question": "Are there direct flights from Chandigarh to India?",

Non‑stop routes from Chandigarh include Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and others on airlines such as IndiGo, Air India and Vistara. Flight times are short, for example around one hour to Delhi."
      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "Which airlines fly from Chandigarh to India?",

      },
      "q6": {
        "question": "What are the most popular cities to visit in India?",
        "answer": "India offers many highlights. Delhi is the common gateway with historic sites and cuisine. Agra for the Taj Mahal, Jaipur for forts and palaces, and coastal Goa for beaches. Direct flights from Chandigarh make these easy to reach."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "When is the best time of year to visit India?",
        "answer": "For India, November to March is generally the best time across most regions, offering comfortable weather and avoiding the extreme heat and monsoon rains. Summer months, particularly April to June, can be intensely hot and humid, especially in the north and central plains. The monsoon season from July to September brings heavy rainfall, which can disrupt travel but also offers lush landscapes and lower prices in some areas."

      "q13": {
