        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Orlando to Aguadilla?",
        "answer": "The flight from Orlando to Aguadilla is about 1,130 miles and typically takes 2 hours 48 minutes nonstop. The return leg averages 2 hours 58 minutes, a small difference of ten minutes. JetBlue and Frontier both serve the route daily.",
        "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 Orlando to Aguadilla?",
        "answer": "Yes, JetBlue and Frontier both fly nonstop from Orlando (MCO) to Aguadilla (BQN). JetBlue runs up to eight daily departures and Frontier up to three, with both airlines operating daily service. Flights take about 2 hours 48 minutes, and several of the evening departures — JetBlue's 9:05 PM, 9:55 PM, and 10:59 PM, and Frontier's 11:12 PM and 11:55 PM — are red-eyes that arrive the next morning.",
        "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. 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": "Average fares from Orlando to Aguadilla bottom out around $208 in late September. The cheapest months overall are September, October, and February, with averages of $211, $219, and $222 respectively. The most expensive period is late June, when average fares peak around $298.",
        "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.",

        "answer": "For flights from Orlando to Aguadilla, the best fares are typically found when booking 3-6 weeks before departure, with an average price around $187. The absolute lowest fare appears about 20 days out at $186, while booking very early — like 6 months ahead — costs roughly double at $376. During summer and holiday periods, demand pushes fares higher, so aiming for the earlier end of that 3-6 week window (or even slightly sooner) is generally safer.",
        "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.",

JetBlue operates daily red‑eyes departing around 9:05 PM, 9:55 PM, and 10:59 PM, while Frontier runs daily red‑eyes departing around 11:12 PM and 11:55 PM. These are late‑evening departures, and on a short Caribbean route like this the flights land the same night — the tool does not mark them as arriving the next day.",

        "question": "How do I get to Orlando Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Orlando, the most popular and convenient option is a ride-share or taxi, which takes about 20 minutes and costs around $30–$45. Public buses (Lynx routes 11, 42, and 51) serve the airport but take roughly an hour, making them the least expensive choice. Several shuttle services and hotel shuttles also run from central locations, offering a middle ground in cost and time. Driving and parking at MCO is straightforward, with on-site garages and economy lots a short tram ride from the terminals; parking rates range from about $10–$19 per day.",
