The cheapest months overall are February ($232 average), September ($239), and April ($244), while the most expensive period is late June, when average fares reach $299.",
        "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 San José del Cabo, the optimal booking window is about 4–6 weeks before departure, when fares average around $191. The absolute lowest price appears about 30 days out at $190, while booking much further ahead—especially 5–6 months early—can push the fare above $350. For summer and holiday peak periods, expect to book closer to the 6-week mark or slightly earlier, as last-minute and far-out prices both climb.",
        "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.",

The most common one-stop routings are on Southwest via Houston Hobby (about 8 daily connections), American via Dallas/Fort Worth (about 8 daily), and Aeromexico via Mexico City (about 6 daily). Southwest also connects via Las Vegas and Phoenix, American via Phoenix and Los Angeles, United via Denver, Houston Intercontinental, and Los Angeles, and Alaska via San Francisco and Seattle.",
        "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. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.",

Ride-share and taxis are the fastest door-to-door options, while public buses are the most budget-friendly but slower. Driving yourself is convenient if you plan to park at the airport, with several garages and economy lots available.",

        "question": "What aircraft are typically used on flights from Orlando to San José del Cabo?",
        "answer": "There is no nonstop service from Orlando to San José del Cabo; all flights connect. Aeromexico leads with Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft via Mexico City, while United operates a mix of Airbus A320-100, A321-200 Neo, Boeing 737-800, 737 MAX 8, 737 MAX 9, and 737-900 via Houston, Denver, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. American uses Airbus A321-100 and A320-100 via Dallas/Fort Worth and Phoenix, Southwest flies Boeing 737-800 via Houston Hobby and Phoenix, and VivaAerobus uses Airbus A320-100 via Monterrey.",
        "methodology": "Aircraft types 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). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.",

        "answer": "Flights from Orlando to San José del Cabo are connecting only. American Airlines and Alaska Airlines (both oneworld), United Airlines (Star Alliance), and Aeroméxico (SkyTeam) operate one-stop itineraries on this route, while Southwest also serves it but belongs to no alliance.",
        "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.",
