        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Delhi to Bangkok?",
        "answer": "The nonstop flight from Delhi to Bangkok typically takes about 4 hours and 25 minutes. The distance is about 1,830 miles. The return flight from Bangkok to Delhi is about 4 hours and 30 minutes, slightly longer due to prevailing winds.",
        "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 Delhi to Bangkok?",
        "answer": "Yes, four airlines fly non‑stop from Delhi to Bangkok: Thai Airways (TG), Air India (AI), IndiGo (6E), and SpiceJet (SG). All operate daily, with a combined total of around 101 weekly flights. The flight takes roughly 4 hours and 25 minutes outbound and about 4 hours and 30 minutes on the return.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "Suvarnabhumi Airport offers taxis, GRAB ride-share, AOT limousines, rental cars, public buses, vans, intercity coaches, and the Airport Rail Link. The Airport Rail Link is the fastest and most-used option, connecting the basement level to Phaya Thai in about 27 minutes, where it links to the BTS Skytrain. Public taxis are also popular, departing from Level 1 with metered fares plus a 50-baht airport surcharge and tolls. Ride-share via GRAB and private limousines provide more comfort, while buses and vans are the budget alternatives.",

Both are evening departures; the SpiceJet flight lands before midnight the same night, while the Thai Airways flight arrives in the early hours of the next morning.",

        "answer": "Suvarnabhumi is Bangkok’s main international gateway, about 30 km east of the city, serving most full‑service airlines and long‑haul flights. Don Mueang, closer to the northern suburbs, is a hub for low‑cost carriers on domestic and regional routes."

        "question": "How do I get to Indira Gandhi Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "The fastest way to reach Indira Gandhi International Airport from central Delhi is the Airport Express Line of the Delhi Metro, which runs frequently from New Delhi station and takes about 20 minutes. Public buses, including DTC and DIMTS services, are the most popular and cheapest option, with routes covering the city; auto-rickshaws and app-based taxis like Uber and Ola offer door-to-door convenience at a higher cost. Driving is possible via the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway, with parking available at the airport, though traffic congestion can make this slower.",
