Keep the route quality filter tight

DEL is the practical airport anchor, so sort by total duration, arrival time, stops, and baggage value instead of airport swaps.

Late-night DEL arrivals often justify Aerocity even when central hotels price lower. Use the hotel neighborhood and cancellation terms to decide whether the lower fare is actually better.

Aerocity
