        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Chicago?",
        "answer": "From Chicago O'Hare, the CTA Blue Line 'L' train is the most-used and most economical option, running 24 hours and reaching downtown in about 40 minutes. Taxis, limos, and rideshare services are readily available, as are rental car agencies and regional shuttles. Metra commuter rail and Pace suburban buses also serve the airport via the Multi-Modal Facility, offering additional public transit choices. The Blue Line is generally the fastest and most reliable way to the Loop, while driving or rideshare may be quicker with light traffic but subject to congestion.",

        "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Delhi to Chicago?",
        "answer": "Yes, connecting red‑eye itineraries are available from Delhi to Chicago. The main overnight option is Air Canada via Toronto, where the Delhi–Toronto leg departs at 22:50 and arrives at 05:30 (early hours), then connects to a United or Air Canada flight to Chicago. Ethiopian Airlines also offers a red‑eye routing via Addis Ababa, with the Addis–Chicago leg departing at 22:40 and arriving at 08:15 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": "Common layovers include Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, and London. Middle Eastern hubs offer frequent connections and efficient transfers with competitive total travel times, while London provides broad onward options. Transit visa requirements vary by nationality and hub; verify in advance."

      "q10": {
        "question": "Which months have the best weather for traveling to Chicago?",

        "question": "What documents should I bring with me to the airport when flying from Delhi to Chicago?",

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Chicago?",
        "answer": "Chicago O'Hare is the primary international gateway, a major hub for United and American, and best for long‑haul flights. Midway is closer to downtown, dominated by Southwest, and ideal for domestic and low‑cost travel."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Indira Gandhi Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Delhi Metro's Airport Express Line is the fastest and most popular way to reach Indira Gandhi International Airport from the city center, connecting New Delhi Railway Station to the airport in about 20 minutes and avoiding road traffic. Public DTC and DIMTS buses also serve the airport, though they are slower and more crowded. Ride-share services like Uber and Ola, along with metered or pre-paid taxis, offer door-to-door convenience at a higher cost, while driving and parking at the airport is the most expensive and least predictable option due to congestion. The Airport Express Line is the best balance of speed and cost for most travelers.",

Terminal 5 is reached via the Airport Transit System. There is no transit hotel inside the secure area, so overnight layover travelers must exit security and re-clear screening the next day.",

American Airlines flights via New York JFK use a Boeing 787-9, United via Newark also uses a Boeing 787-9, and Air India via JFK uses an Airbus A350-900. Other connecting options include Etihad's Boeing 787-9 via Abu Dhabi, Qatar Airways' Airbus A350-1000 via Doha, and Emirates' Boeing 777-300ER via Dubai.",

For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.",
