        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Delhi to Goa?",
        "answer": "The flight from Delhi to Goa is about 935 miles and typically takes 2 hours 35 minutes nonstop. The return leg also takes about 2 hours 35 minutes, with no meaningful difference between directions. Multiple airlines operate this route, including Air India Express, IndiGo, and Air India, offering frequent daily departures.",
        "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.",

      "q1": {
        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Delhi to Goa?",
        "answer": "Yes, three airlines fly non‑stop from Delhi to Goa — IndiGo (6E), Air India (AI), and Air India Express (IX) — all operating daily. IndiGo runs the most flights with up to 13 departures a day, while Air India has two and Air India Express has two, giving a total of roughly 106 weekly non‑stops. Flight time is about 2½ hours.",
        "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.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Goa?",
        "answer": "From Goa's airports, ground transportation to the city center is primarily by prepaid taxi, which is the most-used and fastest option for most travelers. Public buses run by Kadamba Transport Corporation link the airports to Panaji, Mapusa, and Margao, offering a budget alternative though with longer travel times and less comfort. Ride-hailing services like Uber and Ola are not yet available at the airports, and car rentals are limited but possible through local agencies. For Dabolim Airport, the nearby Dabolim railway station (about 5 km away) provides a rail option for onward travel, though it lacks basic facilities. Overall, taxis are the dominant choice due to speed and convenience, while buses serve as the main mass transit option.",

The overnight leg departs Delhi between 22:45 and 23:30 and arrives at the connecting hub between 01:05 and 01:45, landing in the early hours of the night — not the next morning.",
        "methodology": "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.",

        "answer": "Goa has Dabolim Airport in the south, a military airfield with civilian flights, and the newer Mopa Airport in the north. Dabolim is closer to South Goa beaches, while Mopa serves North Goa and offers more low‑cost and charter options."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Indira Gandhi Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From central Delhi, the fastest and most popular way to reach Indira Gandhi International Airport is by the Delhi Metro’s Airport Express Line, which connects New Delhi Railway Station to the airport with dedicated, air-conditioned coaches. Public DTC and cluster buses also serve the airport but are slower and cheaper, while ride-share services like Uber and Ola and prepaid taxis offer door-to-door convenience at a higher cost. Driving yourself is possible via the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway, and the airport has parking facilities, though traffic can make this the least predictable option.",
