        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Belo Horizonte to United States?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Belo Horizonte to the United States are September, October, and August, while December and July are the most expensive. For the best fare, book 9 to 11 weeks ahead, and aim for midweek departures if possible, as weekends and evenings tend to cost more. Peak summer months and major holidays like Christmas and New Year's are usually pricier.",
        "methodology": "This 'good deal' estimate shows a representative best price for each departure date across roughly a 12-month window (about 3 months back and 9 months forward). It is built from real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, accumulated into a price history for each departure date. Rather than weighting all of that history equally, we apply exponential time decay so recent prices dominate — a price seen yesterday counts almost in full, one from about a month ago roughly a third, and prices from a few months back very little — giving a figure that tracks today's market instead of a stale long-run average. Clear price outliers are removed before any calculation, departure dates with no observations are filled in from nearby dates, and the resulting curve is lightly smoothed so it reads as a clean seasonal trend rather than day-to-day noise. This booking-window guidance is built from the same real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, re-grouped by how many days before departure each price was seen (from the departure day out to about 180 days ahead) across the route's price history. At each booking lead time we report the 25th-percentile price — the cheaper end of what travelers were quoted, rather than the rock-bottom minimum (which can be a fluke) or the average (which is pulled up by expensive last-minute fares). The buy-or-wait advice then applies a risk premium that grows as departure approaches, since seat availability shrinks and prices become less predictable; using that adjusted curve we flag windows where waiting is likely to save a meaningful amount (at least $20 or 5%) versus windows where booking now is the better call. Isolated single-day recommendations are filtered out, so the advice only reflects a window that holds for several days in a row. For this route, fares for the requested travel direction were unavailable, so the pattern shown is derived from the reverse direction, which shares the same seasonal demand cycle."

      "q5": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights from Belo Horizonte to United States?",
        "answer": "For flights from Belo Horizonte to the United States, the best time to book is typically 9 to 11 weeks before departure, when average fares are around $915, though the absolute lowest price of $907 appears about 65 days out.",

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.

      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Tancredo Neves Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Tancredo Neves International Airport (CNF) is located about 40 km (25 mi) from downtown Belo Horizonte. The fastest and most common option is a taxi or ride‑share, taking roughly 40–60 minutes depending on traffic; taxis are relatively expensive by local standards. Executive shuttle buses run between the airport and the city center (often connecting at the bus station or a shopping mall) and are a more affordable, comfortable alternative. Public buses also serve the route but are slower and less convenient. Driving and parking are available, but the airport is far from the city, so most travelers prefer a taxi, ride‑share, or shuttle.",
