        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Ahmedabad to Delhi?",
        "answer": "The flight from Ahmedabad to Delhi covers about 470 miles and typically takes 1 hour 45 minutes nonstop. The return leg is also about 1 hour 45 minutes, with no meaningful difference between directions.",
        "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.",

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Ahmedabad to Delhi?",
        "answer": "Yes, four airlines — IndiGo (6E), Air India (AI), Akasa Air (QP), and SpiceJet (SG) — fly non‑stop from Ahmedabad (AMD) to Delhi (DEL), all operating daily. Together they offer over 200 weekly departures across the day, with IndiGo alone running 18 daily flights. IndiGo and Air India also operate overnight red‑eyes with late‑evening departures arriving in Delhi the same night.",
        "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. Aircraft types are taken from the equipment each operating carrier schedules on this route, drawn from published airline timetables and airline equipment schedules in our flight-schedule database. They describe typical scheduled aircraft and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute equipment swaps. 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": "Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport offers several ground transportation options for reaching the city center. The fastest and most convenient option is the Delhi Metro's Airport Express Line, which connects the airport to New Delhi Railway Station in about 20 minutes. Taxis and app-based ride services like Uber and Ola are widely available and offer door-to-door convenience, though travel time depends on traffic. Prepaid taxis and auto-rickshaws are also available, with auto-rickshaws being cheaper but less comfortable for luggage. Buses operated by Delhi Transport Corporation serve the airport but are generally slower and less popular for airport transfers.",

Ride-sharing apps like Uber and Ola are the most popular choice, while prepaid and metered taxis are also readily available and offer a comfortable door-to-door option. Public city buses run to the airport and are the most budget-friendly, though they can be slower and less convenient with luggage. Driving yourself is possible with paid parking at the terminal, but traffic near the airport can add time, so for most travelers a taxi or ride-share is the fastest and most reliable option.",
