        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Delhi to Guwahati?",
        "answer": "The flight from Delhi to Guwahati is about 900 miles and typically takes 2 hours and 25 minutes nonstop. The return leg is longer at 2 hours and 50 minutes, a difference driven by 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 Guwahati?",
        "answer": "Yes, there are direct non‑stop flights from Delhi to Guwahati. Four airlines operate them — IndiGo (6E), Air India Express (IX), Air India (AI), and SpiceJet (SG) — with a combined 153 weekly flights, all running daily. Flight time is about 2 hours 25 minutes, with departures spread throughout the day from early morning to late evening.",
        "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 Guwahati?",
        "answer": "Ground transportation from Guwahati's Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport to the city center is primarily by prepaid taxi or rideshare services like Uber and Ola, which are readily available outside the terminal and offer the most direct route to the city about 28 km away. There is no dedicated airport rail link or metro, but public buses operated by the Assam State Transport Corporation connect the airport area to central Guwahati, though they are slower and less comfortable. Car rentals with drivers are also available from counters at the airport for travelers wanting a private vehicle. Taxis and app-based rideshares are the most used and generally the fastest option, taking around 45–60 minutes depending on traffic.",

        "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.",

        "question": "How do I get to Indira Gandhi Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "To reach Indira Gandhi International Airport from central Delhi, the Delhi Metro's Airport Express Line offers a fast, dedicated rail link from New Delhi station, while DTC and cluster buses provide cheaper but slower public options across the city. Ride-share services like Uber and Ola, along with prepaid and app-based taxis, are widely used and offer door-to-door convenience at a moderate cost, while driving yourself means using the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway and paying for airport parking, which is the most flexible but priciest option during peak traffic. The Airport Express Line is generally the fastest and most predictable choice from the city center, while ride-share is the most popular for its balance of cost and convenience.",
