        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Indore to Delhi?",
        "answer": "The flight from Indore to Delhi is about 410 miles and typically takes 1 hour 35 minutes nonstop. The return flight from Delhi to Indore also takes about 1 hour 35 minutes, so there is no meaningful difference in duration between the two 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 Indore to Delhi?",
        "answer": "Yes, non‑stop flights operate from Indore to Delhi daily on three airlines — IndiGo (6E) with eight daily departures, Air India (AI) with five, and Air India Express (IX) with two, for a combined 105 weekly flights. The flight takes about 95 minutes on IndiGo and Air India, and roughly 105 minutes on Air India Express.",
        "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": "Delhi offers several ground transportation options from Indira Gandhi International Airport: taxis (including app-based services like Uber and Ola), auto-rickshaws, cycle-rickshaws, the Delhi Metro, and buses. The Delhi Metro's Airport Express Line is the fastest way to reach the city center, while buses are the most used overall, serving about 60% of commuter demand. Taxis and ride-hailing are convenient but can be slowed by heavy traffic. Auto-rickshaws are cheaper than taxis but often require fare negotiation.",

        "question": "How do I get to Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From central Indore, public buses operated by AICTSL run frequent routes to Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport, with Route 07 departing every 20 minutes and Route 03-C every 30 minutes, connecting through major city points like Gandhi Nagar, Bada Ganpati, and Rajwada. Prepaid taxis, auto rickshaws, e-rickshaws, and app-based private cabs offer quicker door-to-door service from anywhere downtown, at a higher cost. The airport is only 8 km west of the city center, so taxis or ride-share are the fastest option, while city buses are the most economical and popular for budget travelers.",
