Nonstop flights typically take around 2 hours and 50 minutes, while the return journey is about 2 hours and 25 minutes, with the westbound trip being shorter due to prevailing winds.", "methodology": "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.", "toolsUsed": ["flight_schedule"]}, "q3": {"question": "What are the ground transportation options in Delhi?", "answer": "Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) is well-connected to the city center, with the Delhi Metro's Airport Express Line being the fastest and most reliable option, taking about 20 minutes to reach New Delhi Railway Station. Pre-paid taxis and app-based ride services like Uber and Ola are widely available and offer door-to-door convenience, though they can be slower during peak traffic. Auto-rickshaws are a cheaper, more flexible choice for shorter distances, while car rentals are available but less commonly used for simple city transfers. The metro is the most popular choice among locals and visitors alike for its speed and affordability, avoiding Delhi's notorious road congestion.", "toolsUsed": [], "references": [{"url": "https://hongkongairport.com/sites/en/passenger-guide/overseas-airports-information/delhi.page", "title": "Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport, Passenger Guide - Hong Kong International Airport", "favicon": "https://hongkongairport.com/iwov-resources/image/common/icon/favicon.ico"}, {"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indira%20Gandhi%20International%20Airport", "title": "Indira Gandhi International Airport", "time_published": "2026-05-01T11:11:01Z"}, {"url": "https://www.civilaviation.gov.in/taxonomy/term/180", "title": "Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi | Ministry of Civil Aviation", "time_published": "2026-03-30T10:57:53Z"}, {"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_in_Delhi", "title": "Transport in Delhi", "favicon": "https://en.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png", "time_published": "2026-06-07T13:07:46Z"}, {"url": "https://hongkongairport.com/en/transport/to-from-airport/index.page", "title": "Overview, To and From Airport - Hong Kong International Airport", "favicon": "https://hongkongairport.com/iwov-resources/image/common/icon/favicon.ico"}]}, "q6": {"question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Guwahati to Delhi?", "answer": "Red-eye flights are available nonstop from Guwahati to Delhi.
