        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Baltimore to Cartagena?",
        "answer": "No nonstop flights are scheduled between Baltimore (BWI) and Cartagena (CTG). The route is about 1,990 miles, so a connecting itinerary typically takes around 6 to 9 hours total, depending on the layover.",
        "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.",

      "q4": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Baltimore to Cartagena?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Baltimore to Cartagena are September and October, with average fares around $301–$305, and February is also relatively affordable at about $321. The most expensive months are December and July, with average fares around $386 and $376 respectively, followed by June at about $362.",
        "methodology": "This seasonal price baseline is a 365-day daily curve of typical round-trip fares for the route, precomputed monthly in-house from Priceline's own air booking-summary archive (the same data that backs the site), not a third party. For each calendar day we take a representative round-trip fare — a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings — and Gaussian-smooth the series so it reads as a clean seasonal trend rather than day-to-day noise. Thin and international routes are neighbor-filled: the seasonal shape is borrowed from the nearest dense routes (by origin-and-destination great-circle distance) with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings, so a sparse route still shows a plausible curve. It reflects current fares and is refreshed monthly.",

      },
      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Baltimore to Cartagena?",
        "answer": "For Baltimore to Cartagena, the best time to book is roughly 4-6 weeks before departure, when average fares settle around $312. Booking about 5 weeks out typically yields the lowest price at around $311, while waiting until the last week or buying more than 5 months early can push fares above $350-$440.",
        "methodology": "This booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. It expresses the typical round-trip fare as a function of how many days before departure a trip is booked — from about 180 days out down to the day of departure — aggregating the route's bookings by advance-purchase days and Gaussian-smoothing the curve the same way as the seasonal baseline. From that curve we highlight the stretch of lead times with the lowest average fare as the suggested booking window. Thin and international routes are neighbor-filled from the nearest dense routes, with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings. It reflects current fares and is refreshed monthly.",

        "answer": "No overnight (red‑eye) flights are available from Baltimore (BWI) to Cartagena (CTG) — there are no nonstop red‑eyes on this route, and no connecting itineraries whose long leg is a red‑eye were found.",
        "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": "Which airlines usually operate this route from Baltimore to Cartagena?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop flights from Baltimore to Cartagena. The most common connecting option is American Airlines via Miami, with four daily itineraries. JetBlue also offers a connection through Fort Lauderdale, and LATAM connects through Atlanta, each with one daily itinerary. Typical per-carrier fares are not available for this route.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "Common layovers include Miami, Panama City, and Fort Lauderdale. Miami offers the most frequent connections to Cartagena and a straightforward transfer. Panama City’s Tocumen Airport is a major hub for flights into Colombia with efficient connections. Fort Lauderdale provides a convenient alternative with competitive total travel times."

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

      },
      "q11": {
        "question": "What documents should I bring with me to the airport when flying from Baltimore to Cartagena?",
        "answer": "Bring a passport valid for at least six months, a completed Check-Mig form, proof of onward or return travel, a payment method for baggage, and any required vaccination certificates, as a visa is not required for U.S. citizens for stays under 90 days."
      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Cartagena?",
        "answer": "Cartagena has one airport, Rafael Núñez International Airport, located about 5 km from the historic walled city and popular beaches, serving all commercial flights."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Thurgood Marshall Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Baltimore, the fastest and most popular way to reach BWI is the MARC train or Amtrak from Penn Station, taking about 25–30 minutes to the BWI Rail Station, followed by a free shuttle bus to the terminal. The Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) Light Rail also connects downtown to the airport, with a travel time around 30–35 minutes, and is a low-cost option. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, as well as taxis, offer door-to-door convenience in about 20–30 minutes, while driving yourself allows parking in hourly, daily, or long-term lots. The train is often the quickest and most reliable choice, while the Light Rail provides the most budget-friendly public transit.",
