        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Aguadilla to Orlando?",
        "answer": "The flight from Aguadilla, Puerto Rico to Orlando, Florida is about 1,130 miles and typically takes 2 hours 58 minutes nonstop on Frontier or 2 hours 54 minutes on JetBlue. The return flight is slightly shorter at about 2 hours 48 minutes. Both airlines offer daily service.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "Orlando International Airport (MCO) offers a range of ground transportation to the city center, including taxis, ride‑share services (Uber, Lyft), car rentals, and public buses. The Lynx bus system provides the most affordable option, with routes 11 and 51 linking the airport to downtown in about 40–50 minutes. Taxis and ride‑shares are faster, typically 20–30 minutes depending on traffic, and are the most popular choice for visitors. On‑airport car rental is extensive, with most major companies located in the terminal complex. Ride‑share and taxi are the most used modalities due to their convenience and direct service.",

        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Aguadilla to Orlando?",
        "answer": "Average fares from Aguadilla to Orlando bottom out around $184 in early February, the cheapest stretch of the year. The cheapest months overall are February, September, and January, with averages of $194, $210, and $212 respectively. Prices peak in early June at about $273, with June, July, and December being the most expensive months overall.",
        "methodology": "Seasonal fares come from Priceline's own air booking-summary archive, analysed in-house and refreshed monthly. For each day of the year we take a representative round-trip fare, a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings, and smooth the series into a seasonal curve; the half-month low and high and the monthly figures quoted here are averages of that curve. Thin and international routes borrow their seasonal shape from the nearest busy routes, with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings.",

        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Aguadilla to Orlando?",
        "answer": "For flights from Aguadilla to Orlando, the best fares typically appear when booking 4–6 weeks ahead, with the absolute lowest around 30 days out at about $181. Booking much earlier or much later costs more — prices climb above $200 inside 10 days and above $300 beyond 150 days. For summer and holiday travel, demand pushes those dates earlier, so aim closer to 6–8 weeks out for peak periods.",
        "methodology": "Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. We aggregate the route's bookings by how many days before departure they were made, from about 180 days out to the day of travel, smooth the curve, and highlight the stretch of lead times with the lowest average fare. Thin and international routes borrow the curve shape from the nearest busy routes, anchored to the route's own price level. It reflects current fares and is refreshed monthly.",

        "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": "JetBlue and Frontier both fly nonstop from Aguadilla to Orlando. JetBlue operates up to 54 weekly flights with departures throughout the day, and its typical median fare is around $499. Frontier offers 14 weekly flights, also daily, with departures in the early morning and early afternoon. Fares on Frontier are often lower, though a specific median isn't listed here.",
        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies 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). 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.

Miami and Fort Lauderdale serve as major hubs with extensive onward service to Orlando and efficient transfer processes. Since both origin and destination are within the US and its territories, no visa or transit requirements apply."

        "methodology": "On-time arrival 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; a flight counts as on time when it arrives within 15 minutes of schedule. Carriers are ranked by arrival on-time rate on this route, and the carrier list itself comes 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).",

        "question": "Which airport should I use in Orlando?",
        "answer": "Orlando International Airport is the main airport, located about 10 miles southeast of downtown Orlando. It serves as a hub for Southwest and Frontier, with many domestic and international flights. Orlando Sanford International Airport is farther north, about 18 miles from downtown, and primarily handles low‑cost carriers like Allegiant and Sun Country, often for leisure travellers. Most visitors to Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando use Orlando International for proximity and flight options."
