        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Fort Lauderdale to Port-au-Prince?",
        "answer": "The distance from Fort Lauderdale to Port-au-Prince is about 720 miles. Since there is no scheduled nonstop service on this route, a connecting itinerary is required; typical one-stop journey times range from approximately 5 to 8 hours depending on the layover.",
        "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 Fort Lauderdale to Port-au-Prince?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop flights from Fort Lauderdale to Port-au-Prince. The shortest connecting option typically involves a single stop in Cap-Haïtien (CAP) on Sunrise Airways, with a long leg on an Airbus A320 and a short leg on a smaller turboprop, plus a layover of about 15 hours, making the total journey roughly 18–19 hours. Other connecting routings may exist, but this is the most common one-stop pattern.",
        "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. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price. Aircraft types are taken from the equipment each operating carrier schedules on this route, drawn from published airline timetables and airline equipment schedules in our flight-schedule database. They describe typical scheduled aircraft and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute equipment swaps.",

        "answer": "The airport is accessible by car, with parking next to the terminal, or by National Bus Route 1. The most-used option for travelers is a pre-arranged private car or taxi, which is the fastest and safest way to reach the city center given current security conditions. Ride-share apps and formal car rental agencies are not reliably available, and public mass transit is limited to the bus route. Given ongoing gang violence, arranging a trusted driver in advance is strongly recommended.",

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 Fort Lauderdale to Port-au-Prince?",
        "answer": "For Fort Lauderdale to Port-au-Prince, the best fares come when you book about 4-6 weeks before departure, averaging around $137. Booking exactly 30 days out can save you a few dollars more at $136, while waiting until the last minute pushes the price up to about $168. The fare curve is fairly flat in that 25-45 day range, so there's no dramatic penalty for booking a little earlier or later within that window.",
        "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.",
